Does he own one? I know he owned a customized Blast Boardtracker, and a RR, but did he buy a Ronin?

I wonder if these guys aren't buying up some 1190's right now for a similar treatment?

It's about as ugly as it can be.

If you watch the video Jay Leno says he owns a modified Buell XB. He also has some nice things to say about Erik Buell.

Yeah... occasionally you can see XB12R serial number 2 in the background when they pan the camera around...

Back in about 04, Hal's did a Superbike build on an XB (barely street legal) and it got brought up "legal" at Glendale HD. Amazing piece of machinery - a' la Mike Ciccotto's AMA Superbike.

Ronin did indeed buy a 1190RX from me for a special build they are doing.

Cool! I'll be interested to see how that turns out.

Cool video, but I get the impression that Leno, a pretty hard core motorcycle enthusiast, was pretty ignorant of the 1125 (he had no clue to the power output for instance) and I wouldn't be surprised if he'd never heard of EBR. That kind of speaks volumes.

I think some of the questions he asks are for the benefit of the audience, and not because he doesn't know the answer. Not all, obviously, but some.

He appeared pretty ignorant of Buell tech, although he praised Erik Buell

Might have been a good part of the press intros for the RX & SX to have taken them to Jay's Garage. Much like Kawasaki did with the H2. You know a great many will see them and if Jay decided to add to his collection there would be pics from average people who see him out riding.

Rotax did not design the engine, Buell did.
