With the tall/skinny light...I'm going to guess SX? Something along the lines of a CR-evolution / naked bike. I can't see a light like that in an R style fairing... Good stuff! |

Maybe one of our Photoshop whizzes can work some magic and make that photo more legible? |

I just cranked the brightness up on the pic. Someone overwrote the dark areas with black. Details lost. They really really only want you to see the front of the front tire and the parking light.

Unfortunately for us, there's no detail in those shadows. -J5

Here's a pic of the 1190RS front fairing. The shape of the light setup in the teaser pic isn't that different from the shape of the headlight assembly in the 1190RS: (Message edited by Hughlysses on August 08, 2013) |

Wow! I had no idea you could get an 1190RS with dual training wheels! It looks like some sort of fighter jet that has had it's wings removed. (Message edited by etennuly on August 08, 2013) |

Looks like an 1190RS silhouette got a different headlight. Reminds me of how the RC8 looks (my other dream bike!)

Who needs wings when you've got mirrors like those? |

He's stepped up his teasing since his "disappearance" from Badweb. Instead of an intriguing hint with "remind me to tell you sometime" tag line, we get these random "post it/immediately delete it" posts leaving only the barest trace that Court was ever here. Back to the subject at hand, we had the first teaser photo posted on 22 July, the second on 8 August, hopefully that means we'll see another about 24 August (?). Or maybe the teaser releases will come progressively quicker?

And that big fan...what could that mean ? Air cooled? Wind driven? Hovercraft? Or just a lot of hot air ! Let the rumors fly! |

DOZ - OBVIOUSLY the big fan indicates the ability to transform into a hovercraft, as youve predicted. Erik Buell is all about innovation, an d what better than to merge two wheels with aquatic fun. in all seriousness, this shot got me real excited. It seems, to me, that they arent using the same headlight setup as the RS, which I didnt care for. As well as exciting me, it bums me out - cause I cant afford one. sad face sad face sad face |

"O.K., did anyone catch what Court posted before it was gone? " Pretty sure he's just letting us know he's here. |

Erik had made a statement at one time about how much improvement could be made by making the motorcycle lighter.... something mega light with mega power!! your arms will be about a inch or 2 longer when done riding.... |

"Erik had made a statement at one time about how much improvement could be made by making the motorcycle lighter.... something mega light with mega power!! your arms will be about a inch or 2 longer when done riding...." court posted that? or youre just speaking from experience/knowledge? Im not saying your word is valid, i know you and know you probably know more than most, but didnt know if you were quoting Court or what |

About 3 hours before I read this thread I was daydreaming about what the front of the new bikes would look like. I was thinking there'd be some trick, light-weight, OLED, headlights. I guess I wasn't too far off. I also imagined how magical the new bikes would be if they weighed 350 pounds and put out at least 120 hp. (Any guesses about what actual hp at the wheel might be?) Then I got serious and started dreaming of owning one and not getting any speeding tickets. I can hardly wait. |
