Any one see the new 1190 model from EBR? Anyone familiar with the 1190sx will notice it's basically the same bike with a few street friendly tweaks: Rider pegs lowered Suspension lowered Higher handlebars Lowered gearing Blacked out... everything I think it looks bad ass (but riding an RX I might be a little biased).

Buell 1125CR 1.) Recently had stator rewind and rotor upgrade. Assembled everything back together myself. 2.) Purchase new Shorai battery, lights turned on, bike turned over a couple times, then battery went completely dead. Could not get any voltage readings out of it. 3.) Contacted Shorai for warranty exchange, they sent me a brand new battery, checked with multimeter, readings were good, hooked up to the bike and this is what is happening: Sound at 1 second is bike turning on. Sound at 5 seconds is flipping kill switch to on. Sound at 8 seconds is something near the battery area (there is a box there with start and ignition printed on it, sounds like click is coming from there). Sound at 9 seconds is when I hit yellow ignition button. Sounds like squelch is coming from that same relay box. I put my ear down toward the sprag clutch area and didn't hear anything mechanical. Sounds like it is electrical and not mechanical.

So i searched through the posts and didn't see any thing on the news swirling around for EBR's 1190RX. As many of you probably know Hero (EBR's race team partner) recently bought 49.2% of EBR for $25 million. The only thing that has been holding EBR back is lack of capitol to get large scale production off the ground... well that's not really an issue any more. From the EBR FB page there have been several pictures posted "going's on" up in WI. The first one released was this one: The post just said something to the effect of "lots of testing going on". I looked at this and at first just saw the 1190RS then was like..... is that a back seat?? and wait... those are defiantly +1 pegs and thats not an Ohlins rear shock...... HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! Then they posted this little teaser That is defiantly not the double stacked RS headlight assembly. SO i think it is safe to say I will be purchasing a non-$40K EBR here very soon. Additional little tit bits of info EBR posted this in reply to a question about the motor "This is an EBR engine, not Rotax. We are building them in East Troy!". Also (and this may just be Rumor Mill BS) the price is supposed to be sub $19K GO ERIK!!! GO EBR!!! GO Geoff May!!!
