I've been reading a lot of what you guys post here and I've been sitting on an RX for some time now. I feel my options are running out. I live near Detroit and I've talked to dealers in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania not to mention tried to take delivery of an RX at a place near Lansing last summer until they had issues when I went to seal the deal. Im stuck guys, cycletrader has a black '16 like the one I was going to buy for $10k, just like the one I was about to jump on last year, here's my pic,

Go for it.
I drive my RX "daily" (work week daily), about 85 miles.
Most all Buells have a little more idiosyncrasy's than most brands, but overall, I'm happy with it.

Well they aren't being made anymore so supply of bikes both new and used will slowly dwindle, so don't wait too long to pull the trigger.

Thanks guys, I've tried to read as much as possible about all the issues with this bike. I've traditionally only had in-line 4 rockets and I'd love a V-twin powerhouse American super sport. When I went to grab the one last summer it had the speedo/traction control issues along a fuel pump deal. This scared me a little not to mention the lack of parts availability soon to come (as if parts weren't scarce enough).

I'm not far from you, and just picked up an SX from Bennett in Marlette, at an amazing price.
They are very refined compared to my XB.
I am very happy with the purchase.

I wasn't too worried about it as long as maintenance parts are available. Other stuff will come along via bikes being wrecked and stripped.

I have 24Kmi on my 1125, the EBR is a better bike. One stator early on, if you can get 30,000 miles for $10,000 that is $.33 a mile. Why NOT?
