Too good of a deal to pass up on. New 2015 with 3 miles on the clock. Picked it up at the factory.

Robert, You didn't have the man scribble on it?

Court, I thought I saw some older new bikes sitting around last time I was up there.

2015?

Most definitely! The red spring on the rear shock (for more compliant ride) was a 2015 change on the 1190SX.

Some somewhat relevant data:
Every picture of a Laguna Blue 1190SX I've found/seen shows a yellow-springed rear shock. The Laguna Blue SX's were 2014's. I have the crate cover for a Laguna Blue SX from the dealer that I bought my 1190RX from and the VIN confirms that Laguna Blue SX is a 2014. Since the Laguna Blue SX VIN's appear to be sequential (oh, say it ain't so...) all Laguna Blue SX's should be 2014's.

Congrats Robert - it was good meeting you at the Dreyer EBR event in Indy!

Very cool and glad you got a good deal but I'd take your blue one every day of the week. A very hard to beat all around motorcycle. Enjoy, and ride safe.

Very cool Robert! Looks like the perfect combo..... the Ulysses is a great all round, do anything bike, and the SX is for when you just wanna be a hooligan! Very jealous!

Toolin' The deal was $7900 with 3.5 miles on it, and no warranty. 2015 from Liquid Asset Partners, EBR's new parent company, through eBay. They need to move the remaining 2014 and 2015 stock. Ourdee, He scribbled on the Uly, which you can see on the front of the frame. He was away at a race this weekend, from what I can gather. I'll bring it to homecoming and get it done then.

1313. The Dreyer's event, and Erik's SX there, were what lit the fuse to get this done before they're gone. His has taller bars, lower pegs, and some extra seat padding. Speaking to him afterward he told me he's done 600-700 mile days comfortably on it. I LOVE the Uly, but found myself wishing it had a couple thousand more rpm and another gear with everybody doing 80-90 on the interstates now. My strategy when I last used to ride was that when somebody made me uncomfortable, I'd change zip codes real quick, and they could do whatever they wanted...back there. Riding the SX though, I may just keep it for play and the Uly for everything else. Decisions, decisions.

Save_ferris,
Nice bike for the money. Where else can you get an American bike of that caliber for the price you paid. Have fun.
Want to see an AX before the next century.

That is a great deal! A lot of bike for the money. It's tempting.

Enjoy!...

What a deal! For a bike of that calibre that's almost daylight robbery!

I too have added an SX to my Uly. The Uly remains my favourite bike, but the SX is something really special. It's a bike so, so much more capable, and the throttle response is like having a telepathic connection to those 185 horses. The perfect 'blow away the cobwebs after a week stuck in the office' bike.
