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.
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.
