Very nice!! I like the headlight config much better than the RS. Nothing to hate on here. |

It's beautiful but I don't like the exhaust. I wonder if there just wasn't enough room under the bike for the exhaust to be put there? |

Very nice looking, but at 19k it's not going to be on my short list. I appreciate the efforts of EBR and admire the bike, but it will only be appreciated from afar for me |

This pic sorta makes me wonder how they're going to do a "S" version with the cooling fans. |

Pretty sure they'll sell plenty of them, the yellow is not for me, but paint is only skin deep... |

I think they did a pretty good job on the exhaust. I wanna hear it!!! How much more hp/tq you think you gonna squeeze out it with an aftermarket can? |

Pretty sure they'll sell plenty of them They need dealers to sell them. Is there a list of actual dealers? I don't see it on their web site. I'm impressed with what they've accomplished, and I know you have to learn to walk before you run, but real world dealerships are a critical step. Right now, I have no idea where I can buy one, even if I had $19K I wanted to spend. |

I LIKE IT! The more I look at it the better I like it, I hope that the mirrors are available for the 1125, these look functional, and clean } |

Selling them is not the issue.... FINANCING them is. HDFI /aka EagleMark has NOT been kind in interest, down, or cap value to the last several I have submitted. They will NEED a FRIENDLY lending entity for this bike. and yes - it is dayum sexy. |

"They need dealers to sell them. Is there a list of actual dealers?" Disappointingly, I found out this past Saturday that the closest dealer to me on the weblist will no longer be a dealer. A question from my side, as I haven't had time to digest all the info yet. Has any mention been made of target production numbers? WUNDERBAR (and not just because the available colors are red, yellow and black)!!! 1313 |

I love the red. I retract my previous statement about not buying one anytime soon. The slideshow is impressive. Wish I was there! |

I have to ask...and hopefully someone here smarter has an answer. Why are they still selling the RS as-is? Or aren't they? RX: More power More torque More fuel efficiency (?) LED? headlight w/ fancy en vogue LED strips Traction control Nicer looking UI RS: Magnesium wheels Ohlins suspension 30 lbs lighter Now granted, 30 lbs is a LOT of weight to lose...but still, it seems like all the RX's upgrades need to be applied to the RS in order to justify it's 221% price premium. Even then, it's a tough sell in my eyes. Don't mention exclusivity... That said, the RX is dead sexy. I'd happily put one in my garage if I had the money. |

51 MPG is pretty remarkable from a bike that can perform like that. I would love to see that thinking applied to something a bit more real world. I have no need for something that can go 186 mph! One thing that I have really liked about my XB12 is the fuel economy. I can commute getting 55 mpg and still beat the typical commuter off the line by a long shot. |
