1190RX rumor/news

[netty2424]

I doubt Erik would get tangled up with H-D again after the 2009 debacle

Purely speculation on my part and with no supportive facts, but I agree with deathandtexas. I don't think Erik Buell would want to get in bed with Harley again. With the financial backing he supposedly has with Hero, which happens to be the single largest motorcycle and moped manufacturer in the world, my guess is he'll have a completely new distribution infrastructure supporting him this time. IF it ever happens.............[smirk]

And not saying all HD dealerships haven't been good to Buell brand, but we all know there are many who loathe it, working on it, and selling it. I don't think that would be good for the EBR brand period. When launching any product type, motorcycle or not, you've got to put your best foot forward in order to be successful. Having those dealerships not on board would be counterproductive. Just my opinion.....

I agree with netty2424. [up]

Well there are @ least two HD shops with in 100 miles from me that have 1190s sitting in there show rooms.So its all about the owners of dealerships working with Eric now not motorcycle company's.

 

[moshaholic2]

um, what bike is currently "better" than the 1190?

out of the box, it's the bike that can compete on a track.

The others need $30k+ of improvement.

I am on a trip in Wisconsin and will be stopping by the Buell headquarters tomorrow. I'll try to get some photos of the 1190RS and ask about the RX. They told me over the phone there are no tours offered, although they do have a small museum.

Hmmm. RR1000 Battle Twin?! That would be sweet to see.

Right up front when you walk in the door, off to the right, or at least it was 2 weeks ago.

I'll believe it when i see it... they've been teasing, and throwing time frames out for 2 years now.

 

[MotoX6]

I agree with mow^ who's knows what they'll do or when. All I know is I'm an 'XB' fan and hope I can get parts for life.

 

[thrstrmech]

either 20k or 40k...being an average joe, having an EBR is a pipe dream. if at any moment I had some cash to burn, it would be spent on buying spare parts to keep my XB going, maybe buy another so my 9s wouldn't be lonely in the garage

 

[poinographer]

Had fun visiting the EBR headquarters today. Had a great chat with the VP for Sales about the various bikes on display. Man, I want an 1190RS...

The "add your photo" widget doesn't seem to be working for me, so I will try another method.

 

[poinographer]

Okay, I'll go this route instead:

Sitting on $40k

 

[thrstrmech]

pics of the new bike leaked on fb...check Buellxb page on fb

the bike looks freaking awesome!


....got ya

 

[poinographer]

For what it's worth, the EBR sales VP said the 1190RX will debut in October 2013.

 

[thrstrmech]

woohoo, hopefully with a more reasonable price tag, but like stated before with having money for one of those, rather stock my garage with parts to keep my '03 9s on the road longer

 

[poinographer]

I won't facebook. Can somebody cross post those photos here, please?

 

[09BuellXB9SX]

I want more news! Throw us a bone someone knows something I know it?!!?!

I sent ebr fb page a message with a pic of my bike saying please release something even a teaser for your loyal fans lol

 

[thrstrmech]

Thrstrmech was teasing. Thinks hes sooooo funnny! Get a job you hippie! Jk

 

[DrogeN Omen]

haha yeah i posted them on the FB page hahahaha

was great to get everyone excited again as it got a bit quiet.

 

[DrogeN Omen]

EBR will probs release a closeup pic of the logo on a tank or a wheel peaking out from behind a curtain again like they did for the RS...

cant wait for the full line up unveiling date at the AIMExpo in October.

 

[09BuellXB9SX]
