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?

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,

I love the new Buells but I think this MV Agusta Brutale Dragster is the best looking production bike I have ever seen.

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.
