Sneak Peek at 2014 EBR Motorcycles

Its an EBR based engine that is simply cast by rotax. The engine assembly happens at EBR and we can expect the casting to be done in the U.S. in the near future as well. EBR owns 100% of this design, not just the rights to call it what we want.

exactly what I was trying to get it.
 
What I really want to know is whether these new models will have electronic rider aids. Its seems to me nearly all the super bikes these days have ABS and some form of traction / stability control. Even some of the 600 class models are adding these features during the major redesigns. I am not trying to start a debate on the topic of rider aids, just curious if EBR will be offering rider aids as either standard or optional.
 
When I was at the Motorcycle show in Indy back at the end of winter, I spoke with an EBR rep, and he told me then, that the reveal would be at the Orlando show in October. That might have changed since then though.
 
SO lets revive this with talk about the new model pic?! These are some comments back from EBR's official facebook page about the leaked photo:

"We are building the engine here, not getting engines from Rotax and reworking!"

"This is an EBR engine, not Rotax. We are building them in East Troy!"

"Actually Rotax does not make any parts on this engine now. They used to machine three components on it, but all other parts came from outside component suppliers. They were quite involved in the base design of the 1125 Buell motor which is the basis for this motor, and did assembly of that engine for Buell. But the 1190 engine is being assembled at EBR."

"Well some is true, such as that Hero is not making any parts for EBR, however, Rotax is not making castings for us either. Maybe the person was not really an EBR engineer."

So my first thought about these comments from the good few at EBR was why did they only choose to answer about the engine? They seemed very direct, fans were tlaking about all kinds of things in the fb comments so why did they only choose to answer this one question, and with great detail? Regardless i need another "leaked" pic to really see the look ASAP!
 
I apologize for the misinformation. I was told by a sourcing engineer that we were still receiving the castings from rotax a few months ago. That's my bad. I'll double check next time :)
 
Well looks like we are getting closer to a nice reveal of a new bike which EBR said should be released by the fall, heres a pic they just posted.

:D:D:D[up][up][up] What do you guys think of it????
 
Who will be buying one of the first bikes EBR puts out? Would we be able to buy one this year since release is in fall?
Who will wait a year till the bugs are worked out?

I'm trying to clear up some capital to get one this year, if the SX is released. Otherwise I'm going to wait for the Street Fighter.

Note: I've seen some internet rumors that the RX will be released in the fall but the AX and SX won't be available until spring. I read it on the internet so it must be true...
 
i'm assuming they are like led lights surrounding the headlight

That's the back of the bike. You can see the swing arm and that's definitely a 180/190 rear tire. I don't think it's surrounding the headlight because the air of cover would block some if not most of that view.

We need more pictures for an accurate diagnosis lol
 
No that's the front you are seeing the forks. The finder is there and that's not even close to a 180 its the front tire.
 
Well then. I'm obviously mistaken lol. I should probably put my glasses on.

Can't wait to see the entire thing. Wondering how available they will be upon production.
 
Yeah I have been considering unfriending EBR on facebook because every time they post a pic I get all worked up just to find out its just a teaser pic.
 
I thought it was the front initially too, but it's the back! You can see the kick stand on the left.


Edit - Nevermind. That's a stain on the ground. It's the front again.
