Found out Supermoto Italia in St. James (NY) is the local EBR dealership so I headed out there today at lunch time. They had two RXs on the floor including this red beauty: He isn't sure when he'll have an SXs available though he was trying to get a deposit out of me. The only thing I noticed was how STIFF the clutch felt. The last thing I want to do is get stuck in typical New York traffic with a clutch like what I felt this afternoon. He admitted that the clutch WAS pretty stiff, but he claimed the SX would have a much lighter pull since it is targeted towards street (as opposed to track) riders. We'll see... GORGEOUS bike, though. |

Guess I'll have to figure out how to get a test ride, then. |

they felt about the same to me but I never thought about it riding in the twistes. It does pull easer with the motor running. |

Why is it parked with all those slow bikes? |

They all are slow. They aren't moving |

FWIW and not sure why there's a difference, but the 1190RX that I demo'ed had a stiffer clutch pull than the 1190RX that I bought. That being said...I would still classify my 1190RX's clutch pull as higher effort, 1313 |

I love the new Buells but I think this MV Agusta Brutale Dragster is the best looking production bike I have ever seen. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/100182/Motorcycle-Ph oto-Gallery-Photo/2014-MV-Agusta-Brutale-Dragster- First-Ride.aspx (Message edited by macbuell on July 31, 2014) |

I still like the Benelli TnT... too bad they had a LOUSY reputation for reliability. They had one of those on the floor, too. |

I still like my Lightening Long. That bike will always be unique. The others all look the same. |
