First Correction - SX, not RX - Do yourself a favor. Do not go ride this bike unless you have the money to buy one. I will just haunt you. I cannot imagine how any bike could be more fun on the street. It is comfortable, effortless, and crazy fast. Even my old bones felt like I could ride it all day. Yeah, like all twins, it's buzzy in spots, but just upshift and let it ease along. It will pull from places most bikes won't. I found the low RPM fueling to be very good. The throttle is a little touchy, but only because it has so much low end power and the cables needed adjusting. No quick shifter? Clutchless upshifts were seamless and easy, so who cares. No slipper clutch? yes but they have the engine braking well controlled so I didn't notice. So what would I change? The only thing I would change would be conversion to GP shift, and an adjustable steering damper because that's what I'm used to. So consider yourselves warned. This bike will haunt you.

NEVER test ride a bike unless you're ready to buy. Same with cars. That's rule number one. LOL! |

Maybe its lucky EBR Australia are holding their test rides on the same day I'm racing round 5 on my 1125. |

Rode the RX and SX today, both are fantastic machines. The blue SX is absolute sex. I really want to wait for the AX, but I might just have to put the 1125s up for sale and then pull the trigger |

The nearest dealer is 3+ hours away in a different state. I did get a chance to look at a RX up close last July. No test ride though. 😢 |

No it won't. I have both. The covers are different enough they won't work. |
