Trojan I think Court still has sore spots from HDS legal after the Ulyssses teaser pics LOL Most of the folks dont get the fact badweb etc is used for teasers by Buell Erik Buell Racing etc its part of the fun for us and inexpensive advertisment for the companies. Every magazine does it check out every thing from Car & driver to Popular Mechanics spy shots. Business planning is just that planning. Any plan be it business or combat ever survives the first day intact it changes. The amount ot work that goes into production planning and production line supply is huge. Its harder to build 100 bikes than a 1000. | ||

Matt, >>> The 1190 isn't ground breaking in terms of new technology or anything that will 'change motorcycling forever'. He said Erik would change motorcycling in the next three years. Not sure where your quote is derived or why you imagine that to change motorcycling requires ground breaking new technology. What Court stated is accurate; count on it. An American Superbike competing on the world stage is a huge change in motorcycling. A new American motorcycle manufacturer creating and selling world class superbikes is a huge change in motorcycling. I have no idea what you are getting at wrt Norton in the '70's. There's a LOT more to the sporting motor bike market than superficial appearance and component technology. For example, BMW has surely changed motorcycling with their new Superbike.

Pizza for breakfast is one of my all time favorites. | ||

Wow looks like Ken has a bug up his ARSE with what Rocco said. So what if he doesn't havea buell anymore.... either do I. This is a forum and its where opinions are expressed. Why don't you put your leather jacket on because it seems your skin is thin. | ||
| Blake |
Come on people, all of us. Enough with the personal commentaries. It makes us look like a bunch of gossipy old women. | ||

Erik told me in Daytona the 1190RS was being sold at a huge loss | ||
| Firstbuell |
^^^^^finally!!^^^^^ something here which is likely factual! | ||
| Jaimec |
When I met Donald Trump in Atlantic City, he admitted he was born an hermaphrodite. See? It's easy... | ||
| Crusty |
When I stated that I love pizza for breakfast; I was stating a verifiable FACT! Do you like pizza for breakfast? | ||
| Jaimec |
Wasn't directed at you, Crusty. But since you asked... cold pizza and flat beer... the breakfast of champions. | ||
| Buellhusker |
Cold pizza is great for breakfast. +1 for breakfast of champions. | ||
| Crusty |
Jaime; that wasn't directed at you; it was a response to Firstbuell.  | ||
| Slaughter |
I can't tell you how many times I have ATTEMPTED to take pizza to work - only to have it finished in the car by the time I arrive. And Blake, WHO YOU CALLIN' "Gossipy old women?" | ||
| Deanh8 |
so I heard rumor its supposed to debut at infenion this month.. any truth? | ||
| Smoke |
it's true that there is a rumor . it's also true that that they are working their butts off to get the 1190 homologated. we'll see! tim | ||
| Court |
The 1190RS will not debut at Infineon. There are currently a couple hurdles needing to be cleared. One would make you laugh. One would make you cry. Elves, and there have been some amazing additions to the Elf population this week, are indeed working diligently. These are exciting times we live in. | ||
| Firstbuell |
Court sez, ".....One would make you laugh. One would make you cry......" testify!! | ||

Just noticed on the AMA pro racing web site, that another 1190 twin will be racing in it's 1st AMA Superbike race at Mid-Ohio in July . Chris Fillmore is on the entry list,and is racing a KTM RC8R for HMC, I believe the team is owned by Mitch Hanson . Hanson owned the KTM SuperMoto team that Fillmore use to race for, and Fillmore also raced a KTM 990 Superduke for Hanson's team in a Moto ST race at Road America in 2008. This makes since, because Mid-Ohio is the home of a racing school,where they use KTM's only, and Fillmore raced the KTM RC8R in club races last year, when he was not racing in the AMA. | ||

Court - care to venture on the likelihood of the 1190RS at SBK at MMP on May 28-30?? I'm planning to attend in any case, but it sure would be nice..... Thanks JM | ||

After about 50 laps at Road America, I'd have to agree with Geoff May, "This thing is too good to be a street bike." | ||
| Kenm123t |
Get the duct tape and shackles Court your going to tell us not tease us for a while!  | ||

I'm not allowed to say anything about any secret testing that may or may not have occurred yesterday and I can't confirm any comments made about the bikes performance. The LA fog clouds my memory. | ||

LOL, nice I'd have to agree with Geoff May, "This thing is too good to be a street bike." Thats easy for Geoff to say since he doesnt ride on the street anymore. Im going to have to dissagree.  | ||

Mid OHIO is gonna be FUN! | ||
| Imonabuss |
One small comment that no one seems to have noticed in this thread...the bike is not a Buell 1190RS, it is an E.B.R. 1190RS. | ||

That's an accurate statement and it shares almost no common parts.. |
