The RC8 uses exactly the same gearbox as the Super Duke - and it clearly isn't up to the extra cubes. Early bikes have had the odd part changed for beefier items - but I would expect a bit of redesign for the next model. KTM are very good at listening to their customers and fixing all the little niggles - they did the same with the 07 Super Duke over the 05/06.
