Hey mods. If you want to delete this thread. Please do. There is a couple of threads already started for the SX I love the white! can you say "Wheelie Machine" | ||
| Reepicheep |
Meh, it wouldn't be a proper new bike announcement if there weren't half a dozen posts all started at the same time... It's part of the fun.  | ||

Video of reveal: | ||
| Froggy |
No air scoop on the front brake | ||
| Reepicheep |
No ABS sensor either (that I can see). Wonder if this is going to come in at a price that will be a nice surprise as well? | ||
| Skntpig |
If this is the "streetbike" then it's probably unnecessary. Anyone fast enough on the track to need the duct is likely to get the RX anyway. | ||

Price??? No air scoop on the front brake How hard to add that on if you really feel the need? In fact when I was looking at the RX in the showroom, I was thinking that it would probably be pretty easy to add to a Buell that had the ZTL2 brakes. There may be some detail that makes it hard though. Looks awesome! | ||

You have to listen to this song while looking that the SX in black  | ||

Does this mean my AX is just around the corner? Granted, the SX iteration is probably easier to get into the pipeline but this is encouraging. I'd like to see how it compares to the 1290 Super Duke. | ||

It breaks my heart as my XB was white. I should never sold it. And that IS a nice looking bike. BUT I'll wait on the AX as it suits me better. (Message edited by Birdy on June 11, 2014) | ||

This bike is already dated. Piss poor effort if the best they can come up with is an ugly headlamp cowl to replace the fairing they removed. Here's how MV do it.   Nothing more than Brutale's with a change of clothes. Rocket in England | ||

If EBR's design differences mean a significantly lower price, then I'm all for it. Seriously, if you're not Marc Marquez or Josh Hayes, who needs all that crap on a street bike anyway?? | ||

Not a fan of the front, but maybe it'll grow on me. Love view from the rear. | ||

Looks gorgeous to me, particularly from a side view. She has a big nose, but so does every other streetfighter I have seen other than my XB9SX had. It ruined me. Far better looking than the KTM, etc. The MV has a pretty tank / frame / seat center area, but I hate the transition from rear subframe to rear wheel. It looks like it's trying too hard to be cool. I also always feel uncomfortable with bikes that just dangle that engine case out to every curb and pothole that wants to reach up and take a bite out of it. MV isn't kidding anyone with that skidplate. Fine looking bike EBR, nice job. Can't wait to see specs. | ||

I would ride an MV 800 Brutale, not the dragster though. | ||
| Darth_villar |
Can't say I care for the front. Will be interesting to know what the price point for this bad boy is. | ||

I am not liking the high 748like hump in the airbox but i will reserve judgement as it looks less dramatic in the video than the pics (Message edited by brumbear on June 11, 2014) | ||

I like it. It has things where they belong, arranged in a purposeful manner rather than going all art deco on it. Many of the over stylized bikes of today are tough to look at. It's too much bike for me. If they come out with a single I'd be all over it. | ||
| Pwnzor |
I'm with Rocket... it's not appealing to me. This, on the other hand...  | ||
| Ratbuell |
Seriously??  | ||
| Etennuly |
Well I like the SX. I think it looks great. Cannot wait to see an AX. Cannot wait to test ride one of these things. I bet it would really haul ass on the go-cart track at Road America! My opinion may be biased.....I have always liked the looks(and function of course) of my Uly and my former City-X.  | ||
| Ratbuell |
I also like the SX (see my post in the EBR forum). My previous post was in regards to the overly-busy, cluttered, "cafe racer". | ||

If you don't like something on the bike change it. Headlights seats and bling around the radiator is something for a real entrepreneur to create and make a mint selling to like minded individuals. | ||

Rocket that beak on the MV looks like it was stolen from a Heckle and Jeckle cartoon | ||

I always prefer to keep my comments and opinion on any new motorcycle until I've actually seen one in person. When the 2006 XB12X Ulysses first came out, I thought it was ugly, the I saw one in person and thought not bad looking, and when I test rode it, I bought it and to this day still think it's the best dam motorcycle I've ever owned or rode for that matter! Now wanting to see the new EBR 1190AX. | ||

Problem is Don, I've yet to see an EBR of any description in the UK. I didn't make Donington for World Supers either. Erik didn't mail one of those 70 odd freebie tickets he spoke of to me  I guess I'm not worthy  Rocket in England | ||
| D_adams |
After all the negative comments you've made, I can't imagine why he wouldn't send you an engraved and personalized invitation. Really. Maybe even two of them. | ||

I'm sure it loks a lot better in the flesh, but first impression is 'why has that taken a year to develop an RX with no fairing?' It looks a bit dated compared to the KTM and MV, and just looks like a stripped RX really with a cheap headlight fairing fitted  I was expecting at least a different seat/tail unit and some 'avant garde' headlight styling so this is slightly disappointing I'm pretty sure it will be months before we get to see one in the flesh over this side of the pond, and will have to see how it stacks up in terms of price against the KTM, BMW, MV, Aprilia etc so will reserve final judgement until then. | ||

It really is impossible for you to say anything good about EBR; right Matt? |
