EBR 1190 poll

[Wheelygerry]

Hello everyone, I'm very curious to see how everyone else likes this new 1190. I have read a lot of post and a lot of ppl want to see a naked/street fighter version. What if they don't make a naked version? [down][up]

It's a nice bike and a very good bike for a version 1.0 product. The one at the dealer here has some fit and finish things I could nitpick but all in all, I really like the bike. I was amazed at how light it felt when I sat on it. Just waiting for them to get it set up as their demo bike and I can give a full ride review

Would be a nice track bike, but I have no need for it on the street. Naked sport bike is my poison of choice.

Im a huge fan of the Lightning xb9sx. as far as what ive seen nothing impresses me with the new EBR. unless the new nakid bike is better than the monster...my second bike will be a monster.....EBR.....you have failed me in your indian market

I am not really into the superbike thing. If it were naked they might have something. I doubt they ever will, but I would prefer they made an aircooled alternative aswell. I do like the fact that buell is still doing what he does best.

 

[Enemy Zero]

I forgot to mention before that I am most definitely waiting to see what the naked bike will look like. I'm hoping it is a "must have" bike in the looks and performance department.

If their is no "naked" bike from EBR then I think a good chunk of the Buell community will be lost. Especially since most of us like the XB series bikes.

A lot of people are waiting to see the SX and AX, which we've all assumed will be the stripped down street fighter and touring versions.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an evolution of the 1125CR design if EBR stays with the liquid cooled setup.

Then again, maybe the SX and AX are designs for different bikes that had never seen the light of day. The 1190RS and SX are very similar to the stillborn Baracuda II... time will tell. I can't help but wonder if the next bike to be released is going to be the deal breaker for a lot of people.

It looks like it should be easy to take off the side fairings. I couldn't tell what it'd look like without the sides on, but maybe dean can oblige us sometime before I pick mine up.

The EBR 1190RX is not for me, but I wouldn't say it doesn't impress me. It is a tower of power.

 

[GregoXB]

In fact, I really can't wait till they start reviewing it and putting it up against the competition. I'm really curious how the motorcycle community will receive it. Lots of butterflies in Erik's stomach right now.

unless your buying it for looks wich it doesnt have imo or the status of having a 19k bike it doesnt add up.its going to compete against the zx-10,s1000rr and it cant.for the same price you could have either one of those and another bike or the 5k.hopefully ebr will come out with a standard with good numbers and looks.

The SX (and the AX) will be announced officially later this year. Give them a little more time, race season just started and I think they're a little busy with it all (WSBK and AMA racing) right now. I have faith in them, I knew about the RX for a couple of years. It's priced higher than what I'd been told initially, but it was still within my reach to get one.

Don't like the RX? Don't buy it. I did and am damn happy to have it.

 

[GregoXB]

Although the EBR 1190RX is meant to be on par performance-wise with the Jap liter bikes, I think it is meant to appeal to the guys looking for something different and unique. The Aprilia, Ducati, KTM, BMW crowd. In which case its price tag is right on target.

The 1190SX is an American made sportbike, built by an American entrepreneur and select American talent.. it is an awesome handcrafted machine and in showrooms, for sale now! that speaks volumes.. whatever happened to Motus? or any other US sport motorcycle manufacturer? FAIL! Erik Buell and his "elves" are winners.. these hell-for-cool machines and all things EBR to come, are larger than any juvenile derogatis. Props up to the American sportbike flagship, and GO USA!



Craigslist and fleabay are full of clapped-out, beat-up second hand xb and tube frame platform bikes/parts these days, and more so with jap, chinese, korean and european bikes.. have at 'em boys. (The well kept, maintained and coveted examples of American made Buell renditions are becoming harder to find and surely command appreciation yet today..)

I know at what level I intend to pledge my support and allegiance..

and that is what matters most.

 

[BuellyBagger]

I have faith in them,

I'm right there, anxious and excited! I really doubt they would back out on the SX and AX. The Ulysses seems to have gotten more popular in the last few years so the AX should be a slam dunk and there is nothing better looking than the naked version(SX) of a badass street legal race bike(again congrats in the RX purchase dean, im very jealous)! Granted if they didn't build them I would be upset...[up]

I finally set the suspension on mine this morning, took it out for a victory lap on some of my favorite twisties here. Yeah, it's good. Still getting totally comfy on throwing around a $20k bike, so I still have some chicken strips at 250 miles, but they're getting smaller. Way too much traffic out to really get after it, so I'll stick with that excuse for now. Average speed was 45, my norm on those roads is 70+ at a minimum.
