Still, I hope HD has brains enough to realize that licensing those patents to Erik Buell Racing is is in their best interests. They need all the cash they can muster. I think the fewer parts Erik Buell Racing has to re-engineer the better. | ||

I'm just gonna wait and see what happens..... | ||

I truly hope Erik Buell Racing can stay ahead of the copycats.Aren't they copying his stuff from 1987? In 75 or 76 I built a both wheel steering bike and my first recumbent. I made a front wheel drive recumbent with dual steering in 1981. It has a 10" turning radius. It hangs from the rafters in my garage. It's true purpose is for breaking a world record. I've just never welded up the mid-frame part. I'm certain Erik has sketches from 15 to 20 years ago that would give you some OMG moments. | ||

Can I have an option to buy a Buell 1190RS as a kit bike? I would like to pay less for it and assemble it myself (with the proper assembly manuals). Now that would be COOL! | ||
| Poppinsexz |
Great Idea T9r!!!! I'm with that one. UPS that baby. | ||

The frame of a true 1190 bike is not the same as the 1125....there are FAR more differences than just the powerplant. | ||
| Ferris_von_bueller |
I'd but prices will be in the $25,000 neighborhood. The race bike is around 50k , isn't it? Why would the street version be half that price? | ||

The DSB 1125R was nearly double the cost of a street model. Street bikes don't need carbon bodywork, titanium this, titanium that, magnesium wheels, etc. (Message edited by froggy on September 09, 2010) | ||

"The frame of a true 1190 bike is not the same as the 1125...." Cool  What's different? I'm just curious. | ||

Court you expect patience from addicts Most of badweb has Aaron Wilsonitis ( the drive to have at least one of every Buell and be able run them 130mph+) We have it 6 in the stable Looking for the next one. Love them all but the M2 rules } | ||
| Gunut75 |
I wanna kit bike too!!!!!  Imagine your bike showing up in a crate! 40-50 hours of work and............... | ||
| Froggy |
The last Buell kit bike took quite a bit less than 40-50 minutes to assemble  | ||

Well Erik would like you all to send him 25000.00 deposits on those 1190r and cr kits I think oh about 2500 bike 1st run would be ok So every addict hook up Erik Buell Racing on your auto payment plan we can get the ball rolling on our next FIX aaaa Bike | ||

as much as I like hearing about Erik coming out with a new motorcycle for sale, in this economy, pricing is everything! Buell motorcycles weren't just flying off the showroom floors until they closed the company and had the fire sale pricing. I certainly know that I won't be able to afford any new motorcycle for quite sometime with my income as it is. | ||

The DSB 1125R was nearly double the cost of a street model. Street bikes don't need carbon bodywork, titanium this, titanium that, magnesium wheels, etc. +1 Race parts are expensive, made of exotic materials and in many cases very manufacturing intensive to achieve things like the super light weight or perfect balance. A street bike doesn't need all of that, including the adjustable rake and wheelbase features of an 1190RR race bike. | ||

I'm making a plan to bring all of my bills current -- 2009 pay cuts were VERY hard on the family -- and then continue paying them off. When everything is paid off, I'll start using the same plan for a down payment/purchase price of a bike. I figure about five years and I'll be ready to add a sibling to the Blast. By that time, Erik should have some footing. I'm in life for the long haul and finally have a plan. I'm sure he does, too. | ||

This would be an excellent opportunity for Bombardier to flip the bird to H-D(spit) Invest in Erik Buell Racing with the money H-D(spit) gave them to buy out the contracts for Rotax. The rest would be history What a hoot that would be! | ||

May seems like a great rider and a good personality match to the Buell niche. I can't wait to see what the future holds. It's always darkest and coldest before the sun rises, I can faintly feel the warmth and see the glow of a new era approaching. This is exciting! | ||

May is a very classy guy. He was great when I introduced my kid to him during the pit walk at Mid Ohio. | ||

Hey Froggy...I thought the last Buell kit bike took less than 40 SECONDS to assemble: Remove key from envelope. Insert in ignition switch. Turn. | ||
| F22raptor |
I just got my 1190RS yesterday,much more than expected.... But Froggy,it's got a air-cooled 45degree V-twin S+S? I will post pics soon...  | ||

This should help stir the pot of curiosity. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/593221.html?1284243850 | ||

I cant see Erik, as joking around about a bike he never intends to come out with. Badlion-check out the link posted by 07xb12ss-Geoff himself talks about getting an 1190 bike homologated for competition! | ||
| Badlionsfan |
We know one is coming based on the op, but if the BRP deal is true, it gets even more interesting IMO. | ||
| Augustus74 |
Maybe they will hire him as chief designer or with some other title and BRP will make Buell "inspired" motorcycles? | ||

Can-am WOOO HOOO | ||

1190 Ulysses? What am I going to do with all that extra power? I already have more than I need with my XB12X. | ||

I cant wait. I hope the teaser video is accompanied by a decent press release.  |
