Erik Buell Racing To Unveil New 1190RX Sportbike

[vance580]

I think it looks sweet. Yea the can is huge but it has to conform to noise standards that's why the stock 1125 exhaust pointed right at the brake rotor was to disappate the noise so it could get to those standards. That's why most of us the first mod we do it an exhaust. So that doesn't bother me. It looks almost just like the 1190RS. Hell it even has the brake cooling scoop for the front. Pretty sweet. Can't wait to see the SX as I'm a naked fan myself.

looks alot like the RS...agreed, need to see it in person or more pics side by side

 

[vtech007]

Went on line to get tickets to the AIMExpo and it looks like weekdays are for industry people only, the weekend is open to "consumers"..,so you and I Joe Public won't be able to attend the actual "unveiling", but I guess I'll be seein it on Saturday.

 

[bwylie_99]

I wanna see the street fighter. An 1190 in a xb12s guise? The big brother of the cr....what! Alot to live up too

 

[snrusnak]

Yes vtech the fist couple days are closed to the public. Ill be there saturday as well.

 

[Bullettooth023]

Me and noone1569 were able to get dealer passes, we'll be there when the expo opens thursday

It must be the bike cause it was taken down from the original source "Twistedthrottle" FB page.

Im disappointed in the look. From the little we can see, not much at all has changed from the RS model. Ill stay positive but i was looking for a wow factor. Hopefully that in a good price....

Waiting for SX model.....

Thought #1: I think the RX is drop dead sexy gorgeous.. pictures never do a bike justice, gotta see it in person to fully appreciate..

#2: first thing most people do is ditch the factory pipe right?.. why even look at it

#3: a Ducati panigale cruised down my street the other day.. (actually heard it before I saw it) the EBR RX is going to look and sound just as good, if not better.. for half the price!

#4 American made, American made, American made!

The in your face, EBR "WOW" factor is coming fella's.. be patient

Not impressed, especially at the "supposed" price point of $18k & up.

 

[theshinenz]

So 18k and up means what? Will be be more than one version of the RX? Eg different suspension for different price points? Or just one model? The two photos ive seen look like the yellow one may have ohlins but the white one definately looks showa-ish, yellow could be just a spring color, but then again if you look at the RS in the photo next to the RX the rear shock looks the same but the photo int that clear.

 

[Quadrajet]

My thinking is that the SX is $18K, and the RX/AX are "up" (close to $20K) since there's more to them (fairings/bags etc)?

 

[DrogeN Omen]

so in that photo i see 3 RX's Yellow, Red, Red & White and what looks like Hero's 250-650cc range.

correct me if i'm wrong.

 

[d_adams]

Only one RX in the pic, it's the yellow one. The rest are RS models.

 

[ReconLdr]

Now that we have the pics.... what about the specs???

 

[djs2k2]

Holy cow I just teared up![up]

 

[stopie20]

I dont see anyone spending over 12 for a yellow version. blargh.

 

[BurningExample]

I cant wait for the AX, and SX. the RX looks fancy but it looks like any other +1000cc sport bike now. At least from what you can see here. I just hope the new models follow soon and are comparable in cost and not 45K lol. But yeah im happy they are finnaly coming out, but still a little disappointed.

My thoughts exactly.

Glad EBR is appearing to be doing well, and coming out with nice bikes, but they just seem to be looking more and more "blah".

 

[BuddhaBuell]

so far all this hype is entertaining but I agree with this

Boring.

not that I could afford a new bike but I sure as hell would not drop 15-18k for one of those, I could care less if Erik personally tightened every bolt by hand..

I understand how some of you feel

a little disappointed.

but I had a feeling that regardless of what is rolled out it's cookie cutter time at EBR

enjoy yourselves and the best of luck to all who pull the trigger on the new EBR's

I seriously doubt that he will ever capture the uniqueness, individuality or the soul that the XB series delivered again...

just my humble opinion

It's interesting to see the bike resemble the Barracuda 2. But the drivetrain matches the RS. I can't help but to wonder if the SX will look like the Typhon 1190.
