EBR SX-

[mrlogix]

I still like the look of the Typhon better I think.

And in that video, they are in Indianapolis at the track today.  They're like a couple miles away from me.  I wonder if I can get into see it.

I tried.

I messaged Cory West earlier and asked. Then a contact at IMS =( no go.

I like it, hopefully its more than I can afford or I might have to add to my growing debt.

 

[Sirius815]

Not 100% sure if I like it yet or not.

1. I wish the tail were different from the RX - not much different, but something that makes it more of an SX than a RX without the fairing on the side and the front...

2. The front headlight housing could be just a tad shorter length wise, not height. Maybe more Duc Streetfighter-esque.

3. The bike looks great in white!

4. The pods look better than the 1125's, but could still use some work.

5. Handle bar positioning looks great for comfortable riding - not sure about the seat.

6. I like the silver pieces cover part of the muffler under the pegs.

Needs a chin. Love it completely other than that.

Meh. I'm not sure what to think yet. Looks all clunky. Doesn't really have much of a central aesthetic design to it?? Literally just looks like the fairings were pulled off of the RX an viola. SX. I suppose that might have been what they were going for though. More of a bike that is still the 1190rx but just a different version. I guess I was hoping for more of "another model" approach rather than "another version". In that aspect they did a good job retaining the 1190rx part. I was really hoping for a different SX tail section. The RX tail is badass, on the RX. I'm not sure I'm feeling it as much on the SX. Need moar street fighter. Overall I give it a solid "meh". I blame that headlight assembly :vomit:


Looks like them good ol pods are here to stay. I wonder of the 1125 pods will retrofit LOL

 

[dflack001]

Wow what a cool looking street fighter!

 

[Netzman]

SEXT9: The bike isn't out 2 hours and already modding?! Exactly why I love the Buell culture, independent just the way I like it.

 

[mriulvr]

If a mod to the headlight assembly and pods gets developed then I might be interested. Not sure about the tail and chopping it all the way back. Looks like a bad haircut where the clippers got a little to close. Anyone know if Randy has any plans for a Hawk exhaust for the RX and SX?

I will be doing an exhaust, possibly two styles. I have something else rattling around in my head again. One is already done and EBR has it at the factory, I dropped it off 2 weeks ago.

 

[Sirius815]

@Dean

Working on becoming the *official* aftermarket sports exhaust manufacturer for EBR?? Much like BMW has akropovic, and so on?

 

[d_adams]

No, just doing my own thing. I don't want to commit to what they want. Figure 3000 units per year (to start) on just the stock exhaust alone. I don't have the resources to do it. Then, figure 10% will want an aftermarket pipe. There's 300 units. Now look at what I've made in the last 5 years. I just shipped #222. There's no way I can do it and stay comfortable like I am right now. I don't want to turn this into a full time job where that's ALL I ever do, all day long. I schedule and build at MY pace right now and I'm happy that way. I've built a solid business out of this (I think anyway) and I'm good with where I'm at.

[up]Gotta respect that!

 

[Sirius815]

Sounds great Dean!

Now back to the SX

 

[anrkizm95]

figure 10% will want an aftermarket pipe

that seems low.i have never and dont know anyone who has kept the stock pipe on. 50% would still seem low. i wouldnt be surprised if you had 1000 to 1500 per year with the ebr and the older buell stuff.depending on your price 600 min to 1000.hire a couple welders to crank out pipes expand to other makes in a year or 2.it wouldnt be far fetched to say you could have 1.5 to 3 million dollar gross business in a couple of years.

 

[Theycallmecrash]

All i gotta say, KTM Superduke 1290

 

[thrstrmech]

I'd take it and replace the front end with my '03 Lightning's front end

 

[vance580]

Anyone notice from the other pics the key goes in the side like the XBS's. I dig it.

 

[d_adams]

10% was the target number mentioned to me last year.

The other part of it is, I (oddly enough) still like doing these. If I hire people to do something that I like to do, then where does that leave me when I want to weld? Yeah, I know, sitting on the back deck drinking a beer or two.
