      Not happy with the styling update, but happy that someone is trying to make a go of it. I’m an 1190RS owner and really like the bike, more people deserve the opportunity to try one of these bikes.

      Yep-I have bought their frame brace kit and a few other things from them. Getting ready to send my bike to Chaz Aagard in WI and have him pull the jugs to send them to NCCR for a closed deck conversion. Too many really expensive parts in an RS motor to chance it.@@jdesmo1

      The roads here in the USA are different to Europe and our people buy bikes solely as leisure toys. Straight Roads and leisure products mean that we pretty much only want very high end bikes, which Buells never really were. The later water cooled bikes were pretty good from what I gather when ridden in isolation, but when you put them against their contemporaries (like a V-twin Panigale) they always fell a little bit short.
      Ironically, it was Europe that put the nail in the coffin for Buell in terms of sales-the ABS requirement was something they couldn’t meet at the time. Hero witholding a $7m payment for engineering services in a hostile takeover attempt didn’t help either.@@jdesmo1

    I love all of your Buells in stock. This model is my favorite paint job out of all your Buells. My favorite Buell you have is your Streetfighter, which you said Jr was gonna be riding at Americade. Never in my life have I ever heard of a Ram Air being used for cooling down brake calipers. That is fucking awesome, and mindblowing. I thought Ram Airs were only used for engines. Those Buells are sick.

      I haven’t ridden an RX or an SX, but I do have one of the hand built RS’s that were done to show what he could do. Even though they look similar to the production 1190RX they are quite a bit different under the skin-the fairings won’t even swap out. That said, if EBR got even 50% of the riding experience from the RS into the RX, Any experienced rider will have a great time on one. No, they aren’t as fast as a modern liter bike in a straight line, but they aren’t miles behind….. and they feel like TWO modern bikes coming out of a corner hard. The production bikes make the same power as my RS, and they got traction control-and they need it. My bike will flip itself in 3rd just under hard acceleration. Actual slides are easy to manage without the TC though because torque falls off as RPM rises. It’s a really entertaining bike to ride under 120-I wouldn’t want to be on any of my other bikes and some of them are pretty serious modern tackle.

    If Buell could put out a bike that can compete with the Suzuki Boulevard M109R then I’m in. I don’t really like their new cruiser…it’s too much like a cafe racer. I need a modern cruiser. The Suzuki Boulevard M109R BOSS looks like a Hayabusa and a cruiser combo. I wanna see something like that from Buell.

      It was an ego thing-Buell was profitable when Harley wasn’t at the time. The CEO started bad mouthing Erik and his “racing hobby” and then sacked his ass.
