Erik Buell Racing To Unveil New 1190RX Sportbike

[Matteson]

Boring. Looks like a liter jap bike from the picture. Maybe he is doing that so he can sell some product to the masses.

 

[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.

 

[Fatty SS]

I really like the tail, a lot. The muffler does stand out, a lot. Not sure why they didn't do a better job integrating it. The angle of the pic isn't very flattering to the fairings, I'll reserve opinion until better pics are available. Overall, the looks are promising. I never liked the looks of the 1125R, this RX seems to share some basic styling cues with that bike but seems to have smoothed out the areas I didn't care for.

I, too, am excited to see the SX. I'm also looking forward to the official release tomorrow. I'm curious to see what else EBR is unveiling.

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

Nope, there's also a red RX next in line after the yellow one. If you look you can see the passenger seat and the tip of the black muffler extension, just like on the yellow one.

Leaving in a few to catch a flight to Orlando. Anyone who is going to be there can pm me if they want to meet up and chill. Will be there until Thursday.

If you look at the green bike in the background you will notice the resemblance to a Hero Splendor iSmart.

the red one directly behind the yellow one has the same exhaust as the yellow one.

interesting...

"EBR 1190 RX - 1190 cc V-twin - capable of developing 175 hp at 9,750 rev / min and 131 Nm of torque at 9,400 rev / min.

The Erik Buell Racing have informed the 1190RX will be followed by two other new models, already announced, they will use its own engine-chassis package: the naked 'SX' and crossover 'AX'."

found this on an Italian website...

does this mean that the SX and AX wont use the EBR/Rotax collaborated engine?

#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!

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Buell's. But the odds of THAT happening is very minuscule indeed. The 1199 (IMO) is the best looking Duc since the original 916 and that bike changed the look of ALL sportbikes to come after it. The 1199's taillights, the exhaust, mouthwatering. That is one amazing bike.

See!
(AAAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

all of which was copied from Erik Buell's XB designs.

wait for some proper pics and colors available and then make your choice, $35k for a Duc or $18k for an EBR.

i know which one i will choose.

 

[redwing]

Well, unfortunately I don't have $35k OR $18k in my piggybank. So I'll just have to salivate over them both I guess.

 

[DrogeN Omen]

i recon wait 12 months and buy second had.

second hand will probs go for $10k - $12k
