Author Message   4cammer Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - 10:59 am:        July Cycle World has an EBR 1190RX vs. Ducati 1199 Panigale comparison. Good article and the EBR has a heck of a good showing. The lap times, MPH and HP figures are as close as a rounding error. No link online yet.   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - 12:59 pm:        Cool! I'll be watching my mailbox.   Trevd Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - 03:52 pm:        And Kevin Cameron's analysis of the engines basically says that the EBR engine is a better engine for the street. Better torque at lower RPM.   Dmhines Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - 10:25 pm:        Yes .. I bought a copy ... also says the EBR is better as a street bike because the Ducati is throws off a lot of heat while riding.   Mackja Posted on Friday, May 30, 2014 - 09:28 am:        Really good article, shows just how good the 1190rx is, the bikes are even, a few small upgrades on the EBR will finish it off real nice. While I don't have an issue with the traction control switches, even though it would be nice to have it on the handle bar and a shift light would be a plus. I really wish it had a quick shifter. I do believe if the EBR had a quick shifter the lap times would have been even closer if not better than the Duc. I got one of those rotors too, has been driving me crazy, new one came in yesterday so it will be fixed in the next few days.   Hughlysses Posted on Saturday, May 31, 2014 - 05:23 am:        Got my copy in the mail yesterday; very good article. Disappointing about the defective front brake rotor; it sounds like there was a good chance the EBR would have beaten the Ducati's lap times if not for the braking problem. Even with that, it gave an excellent showing.   Jumbo_petite Posted on Saturday, May 31, 2014 - 08:34 pm:        Got my issue today. The article referenced going the cycleworld.com for update with the new rotor, but I could not find anything on the website. Good article and a lot of RX pictures in the issue.   Ponti1 Posted on Monday, June 09, 2014 - 06:58 am:        Related item: http://www.cycleworld.com/2014/06/04/2014-ebr-1190 rx-vs-2014-ducati-1199-panigale-dyno-run-compariso n-test-video/?src=SOC&dom=fb   Classax Posted on Monday, June 09, 2014 - 02:29 pm:        It realLy realLy sucks that they are doing to HORRIBLY in WSB and not dominating in AMA because the street bike really is an excellent mount right there with any of the other machines. Only more shootouts will help at this point. (Message edited by Classax on June 09, 2014)   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, June 09, 2014 - 10:19 pm:        Patience, Grasshopper.... How long have they been building Duc's? Or Honda's? Kawi's? How long have they been building EBR's? You must have patience, Daniel-san.
