Source for the SX's mid 2014 release?

Gary P, the VP of sales told me.

 

[BenAlpha]

Alright! [up]

So mid 2014 release.
Any idea When will they unveil it?

 

[ljm]

If you have a chance to ask him, are they bringing the bikes to any other shows this year or early next?

Update on the top speed, 186 is the maximum top speed for production bikes in Europe and that's why it's the max top speed here. The EBR rep even said it with a grin on his face. Good indication that it will go much faster.
It also has a 2.8 second 0-60 time.

 

[wolfo68]

Does anyone know where there is a dyno run from the RS?

 

[buellxb]

I saw dyno results in the media meeting. I have the whole thing on video, I should post it.

I'm a big fan of Erik's work, and I appreciate that this is going to be a fairly competitive bike from an American company, but this looks like just another boring liter bike to me. Since I'm not a racer, and only a guy with a chunk of money to spend on motorcycles from time to time, there's nothing about this model that makes me want it over a BMW, KTM, or Ducati. Too bad.

I have to agree with theocto.

yep

 

[dave_xb12r]

I want it. I wanted a duc before, but the duc is out now. EBR for me. Hopefully I can test ride tomorrow.

 

[lotusexcelle]

We haven't even heard this thing yet - part of the ride is the sound. Really. How many people come up to your Buell after you start it and just *stare*?

 

[Red93stang]

Anything on the dealer network?

under whelmed to say the least
[smirk]

but I am sure the SX will knock some sox off for those that can afford the price of admission.

I met a lot of people already in the network. They actually offered to deliver the RX weeks ago saying they just couldn't sell it till after today.

I posted a clip from ebr's website of them running it on the dyno. Sounds great to me. Check it out here. http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/EBR-Motorcycles/1190RX-Sound-Clip

 

[buellxb]

Thanks for the sound clip Enemy! I also re posted the link to your MP3 earlier in this thread. The best way to find out what these sound like is a test drive. I'll be notifying people of the earliest opportunities to do so via email if you registered http://www.buellxb.com/ebr-sportbikes.php

Am I the only one who wants to know when parts for the RX will be released so I can get that brake scoop for my 1125.

 

[50dro]

I'm bummed that the scoop goes right where my axle sliders should be!
