The motorcycles page.

The 1125R appears to be using Flexiglass ram air panels and stock seat. Notice how the panels cover the clutch cover. I have the regular Flexglass panels and I added a lot of glass to the back side at the clutch cover for added protection.

The 1125RR looks like it's using the Taylor Made seat/tail and the Buell full fairing. In the picture you can see those Taylor Made clutch cover protectors. I really dig that seat.

The 1190RR seems to be using the same fairing but with a wild new seat. I wander where they put the electronics?

I love the look of the 1190. After doing my own work on the 1125r, I'm asking the same question: where's the wiring?

I suspect when you go to a race harness and loose the street wires + the fuse boxes in the back, it makes it a lot easier to tuck stuff.

From Erik Buell's Facebook (was in response to a comment I posted):

Erik Buell
Have fun at the track! Wish I was joining you. The fairing will not fit an 1125R without a number of other pretty significant changes, like radiators and exhaust. The current 1125R/1190RR radiators are really expensive as we are getting them hand made a few sets at a time. Of course they are cool as can be, and compared to the world of custom choppers, pricing is not bad. And you actually get performance... We would like to be looking to source something more cost effective for kits, but it will be quite a while before we can get to it.

Take a look at this earlier thread on radiator/fairing packages. When I started that thread I also got a message from one of the EBR technical folks. The Flexiglass sidepanels (i.e. Latus Motors/RMR, and the current DSB 1125R) are more cost effective cause they use the stock radiators. The setup on the 1125RR/1190RR look really good, but like Erik says, they "...are really expensive...." I'm just a club racer and don't need to get too exotic, especially when there's an acceptable substitute. However, if you look at the pics of the 1125RR undressed in the Dec RRW the EBR cooling package is way cool (pun?). I'd get it if I could afford it.

I'm interested in the air box that is suppose to have more flow.

Yes! One look at the stock snorkel and you wander how enough air gets in.

1125RR and 1190RR use different fairings.

The 1190RR looks very similar to the photos we saw of the "Barracuda" model.

You really think so? Maybe the tail and seat. But the fairing?





Edit for picture location.

Figure in the area of $40,000 which, of course, will vary with each bike according to specs.

Wild ass guess on my part . . .
