From http://www.erikbuellracing.com/ : "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 16, 2013 Contact: Gary Pietruszewski Vice President Global Sales, EBR (262) 642-1627, x-298 gary.pietruszewski@ebracing.com EBR to unveil new American sport bike at AIMExpo in Orlando EAST TROY, Wis. – Erik Buell Racing (EBR) announced today that a new sportbike will be unveiled October 16 at the American International Motorcycle Exposition (AIMExpo) in Orlando, Fla. The new, street-legal high performance motorcycle carries EBR’s model designation 1190RX and is a direct descendant of EBR’s race-bred limited edition 1190RS Super Bike. While the 1190RX shares its sibling’s 1190cc engine and many of EBR’s exclusive performance and handling-enhancing features, it is a new design created to tame the wildest roads and rouse the most demanding riders. “This is the culmination of decades of dedication, innovation and teamwork,” said EBR founder Erik Buell. “We have been working to create a pure rider’s machine and a true world brand. From the heartland and the heart of America, these are extraordinary motorcycles that discerning riders everywhere will be passionate to own.” The unveiling of the EBR 1190RX will take place in EBR’s booth number 1157 at the AIMExpo at 12:00 noon on October 16. Media representatives and motorcycle dealers are encouraged to attend, as a number of developments from the EBR team will be announced at that time." -ERIK BUELL RACING, FACEBOOK September 19, 2013, 5:27 pm How did they release this in the future? | ||

I googled Gary Pietruszewski, and came up with 2 guys by that name, and one of them is listed as "VP Sales & Dealer Development at Piaggio Group Americas". I'm guessing EBR made him an offer he couldn't refuse? Sure sounds like EBR is stepping up their game on all fronts. | ||

On the EBR facebook page: if you sign up for email updates on that site: Hopefully the next message doesn't feature Ovaltine  | ||

Only 20 days left! Oh and a 40ft x 50ft booth is awful large to just have one bike... | ||

Satori- GOOD catch! Hmmm, very interesting. You can see the interactive floorplan here: http://www.aimexpousa.com/Uploads/Public/AIME/default.html (Message edited by Hughlysses on September 27, 2013) | ||

Thinking about it. Got approved for Dealer passes. P.S. could probably add 1-2 people on as a dealer pass if you were interested . . PM Me | ||

The dealer pass will be sweet, because you can get in on the 16th (the day of the 1190RX intro). The general public has to wait until Friday afternoon. | ||

The 1190RS was on Fox and Friends, and they mentioned the RX. |
