  1. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
  2. Guessing by the Brembos & S1000RR suspension it won't be cheap, but it's growing on me.
  3. You interviewed with Buell...really...yawn. I was flown to the Toyota Headquarters for several interviews, but I don't claim to know fuck all about Toyota. Rather than admit you're statement was incorrect, just point your loud mouth in a different direction and rant on. You're not the first know-it-all I've encountered, and certainly not the last.
  4. I'll actually consider this if they have another wheel option. I don't do spokes.
  5. What will the demo's be? Will there be a 2014 Ninja 1000?
  6. Umm...how about the obvious ones: RS no traction control. RX 21 level traction control. RX makes both more hp and tq. Much nicer gauges/readout. Then there's this, "The 1190RX builds off the RS model, but EBR claims development of 426 different parts for its latest offering." It's all a progression. EBR made the RS on a shoestring budget, they were tiny and it was their first bike. The RX has another 2 years of racing, development, and research behind it. Not to mention a much bigger development budget due to dollars from Hero. I understand that the RS has high end components and was had built, but to say the RX has no improvements is well...incorrect.
  7. Only sell to a dealer if you want it gone NOW. When buying outright they'll offer you wholesale price, which is usually less than trade in value. This time of year they'd probably offer a good bit under 3k. You could definitely get more selling it yourself in the spring. If you really just want to be done with it...find out what the dealer will buy it for...and I'll give you $100 more than them
  8. "one could argue" that sewer rat tastes like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker

  10. I read once (not positive it's true) that Hero is 2nd to Honda in motorcycles sold world wide. I doubt if any Hero models will be sold in the US as is, except for maybe a scooter. EBR has been working with Hero since 2011 on R&D projects. I strongly suspect those projects were to develop Hero models for the US. I bet we'll see Hero models to compete with the Ninja 300 and the CBR500.
  11. Geoff May announced he will be racing the new 1190RX (not the RS) in WSBK next year. Also, EBR will be distributing Hero motorcycles in the US starting in 2014. I suspect that Hero $$ will be used to establish the EBR dealer network.
  12. I'll trade you a Mossberg 702 .22 rifle.
  13. I dug up my 2012 HD Fatboy "review." http://www.coreriders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2671
  14. Incorrect, but thanks for sharing your opinion.
  15. It'd be like choosing which finger to smash with a hammer, but at least there's some decent capability engineered into the GW. The GW motor is actually pretty impressive.
  16. Might be interested. How quickly does the shield change in different conditions?
  17. This sounds interesting: And one final note: EBR is taking its 1190 to the World Superbike championship in 2014! Riders have yet to be announced. http://blog.motorcycle.com/2013/10/16/motorcycle-news/2014-ebr-motorcycles-1190rx-preview/
  18. ^^ Where is this strong Aprilia dealer network??? I've never seen it. Ducati's dealer support is better than Aprilia, but it's no Honda.
  19. I think everyone that bought the RS for 40k knew that the mass produced model would have some nice improvements and cost 1/2 the price. It shouldn't be any surprise. Hopefully, the next one is even better and less expensive. The reviews & comparisons should tell us if it's worth 19 large.
  20. It looks much better in the official photos.
