^ Good deal! Now, if they'll just put one in GA/SC/NC I'll be happy. | ||

The new California dealer is 670 miles from north Utah (closer than the Tempe AZ dealer). The dealer map is starting to fill in. | ||

Has anybody got an idea of how many 2016 EBRs have actually been sold? | ||

I'd guess something in the teens to twenties since there are only thirteen dealers and not much time has passed since production re-started. Monthly production numbers would be a good indication of demand going forward. | ||

Based on posts on Facebook (I realize this is not a remotely scientific sample), it appears as sales of the leftover 2014's and 2015's have picked up. I'm guessing there are only a few of those left now. | ||
| Johndd |
I'd also like to know how many 2016's are currently sitting in dealer showrooms. Some of the web sites for EBR Dealers don't show any EBR's under "new inventory" | ||

Now, if they'll just put one in GA/SC/NC I'll be happy. I like the way you think! Although I'm a bit more partial to NC myself... 1313 | ||

Ducbsa: Where is Battley's? | ||

^ Thanks. They only show 7 left-over EBR's in stock; 1 SX and 6 RX's. No prices listed. | ||

Lots of listings on cycle trader: http://www.cycletrader.com/search-results?type=Mot orcycle%7C356953&make=ERIK%20BUELL%20RACING%7C7653 22960&radius=150&modelkeyword=1&sort=featured%3Aas c& | ||

There are 6 or so leftover RX and SX sitting here in PA between Whites HD in Lebanon and a dealer in Emmaus. All of them being advertised on Craigslist for $10-11k. Whites also has a RS listed for $39k. | ||
| Johndd |
Here's a 2012 1190RS with 800 miles on it listed at $16450: http://www.cycletrader.com/dealers/LA-TECH-INC.-30 31628/listing/2012-ERIK-BUELL-RACING-1190RS-118083 261 Appears to have damage (salvage title) (Message edited by Johndd on May 26, 2016) | ||

^ I'll bet the suspension components are worth that. OTOH, WTF would you take the fairings off and chunk them? | ||
| Hughlysses |
Hmm, a great price on a new left-over 2014 SX at a dealer in TN, complete with "factory warranty".  https://knoxville.craigslist.org/mcd/5604046001.ht ml | ||

Hugh, The current owner obviously had an issue controlling the RS's thrust and found a couple of immovable objects. Note the dents in the frame and radiator (left side), missing mirrors, chewed throttle grip, and missing windscreen. Makes one wonder what else is no longer factory new! | ||
| Johndd |
2012 1190RS in great shape available here: http://www.nrhsperformance.com/ebrpage.shtml The price is $25k | ||
| Johndd |
Facebook post states Northern Classic, Custom and Race AB of Sweden will be providing parts,service for the European market. I believe this shows a probable European Dealer Network is in the works (after ABS added). (Message edited by Johndd on May 27, 2016) | ||

John - that's Dan's, the first RS we got in Nov 2014. I got mine the following March(2015), so we have 2 RS Carbons at the shop. Dan will sell his, with something like 8 miles; mine has just under 1000 miles and is NOT for sale. Zack | ||

1776 Patriotic 2016 1190RX (lot#1) bidding: Currently at $8250. Here's the link https://www.proxibid.com/asp/Catalog.asp?aid=11152 3 This is a benefit for the Fisher House Foundation. | ||

@Zach4mac: "...that's Dan's, the first RS we got in Nov 2014. I got mine the following March(2015), so we have 2 RS Carbons at the shop." An RX weighs (Wet, no fuel) 419lbs An RS weighs (Wet, no fuel) 389 lbs or 30 lbs lighter. I'm guessing lots of accelleration.... | ||
| Zac4mac |
I can say, with vindication, the RS will do OVER 170 mph in a mile in most places. Z | ||

Similar speeds with the XBRR but no water tank to haul around. About 360 pounds +/-. Erik's twin cylinder XB racer idea started here and it is lumbering towards $40k. http://www.cycletrader.com/dealers/Harley-Davidson -of-Greensboro-784890/listing/2007-Buell-XBRR-1181 44686 In order to satisfy the AMA homologation rules and have a competitive hp, Erik literally melted the 1203 and recast it for 1338cc with some nifty magnesium parts. Quite a stellar lineage Erik wrought.  | ||
| Buelliedan |
I cannot see anyone paying $40k for an XBRR. the only thing you can use it for is track days and honestly there are a lot better bikes that are a lot cheaper and much more reliable. | ||
| Mog |
No track days, just a pricy wall hanger. Especially with the bottom right fairing removed. But, I digress to another time. Looking forward to the next set of EBR1190 RX and SX sales numbers.  ....just maybe a MotoAmerica private team next year? | ||
| Buelliedan |
I have been trying to keep track of how many 2016 EBRs have been sold from their facebook postings. I am guessing about 15-20 new bikes have been sold so far. I hope that is enough to keep them going. | ||
| Mog |
Thumbnail calculation says they would have to 'sell' 26 bikes per month for a gross of $2.5 million for their first year to appear as a going operation (312 bikes total) and at least double that number each year for four years running. A $20 million, in sales per year, company by the end of 2020. I definitely believe they can surpass those numbers.  | ||

I'd sure like to know more about your "thumbnail". I'm not sure you've covered the utilities in the building. | ||

I wish someone could have passed this story along to someone at EBR. Some of you may have seen this video, showing a bizarre bike crash, making the rounds recently: If you look carefully, you can tell that's an EBR 1190RX, apparently the only one sold in Russia. The rider is a regular poster on ebrforum.com; his handle is "Zviadi" and he's from St. Petersburg. He says the car that the wheel came off of was driven by migrant workers who unsurprisingly aren't very religious about car maintenance. At any rate, the rider had a very difficult time getting the replacement parts he needed from EBR. Apparently after almost 2 months of waiting and several phone calls, his parts just arrived. Here's what he posted about it:
Apparently LAP would only ship via UPS, and they're very expensive for shipping to Europe. He had a lot of trouble getting in touch with people at LAP. Now I can imagine there are huge hassles in sending parts to Russia, but it seems like they could have done more for the guy. It also seems like this would have been a golden opportunity for good international publicity for EBR. That video was all over Facebook and featured on several motorcycle sites. Imagine if that viral video could have been followed up with a story headlined: "EBR Provides Free Repair Parts to Only EBR rider in Russia to repair his bike after insane crash" |
