Looks good!


I hope the parts are available to swap out our 1125 pods to the new radiator style.

That tail section would be a nice upgrade too.

Can be done now if you wish.....but you probably don't want to know the cost.
1125RR had a very similar radiator setup.

Not my cup of tea. They had a real opportunity and I'm not impressed.

Not really. That set up was crazy expensive, something like $5k.

The production set up on the RX is quite different from that.

I'm kind of let down on the front end. I guess I was expecting something more along the lines of the Typhon.

That complaint aside, I really like the rest of the bike.

Did anyone else notice the ABS ring and sensor on the rear wheel? I'm pretty excited about that!!!

That ring with a few other sensors could be used for wheelie control, traction control, etc. I think they have created a bike that will most likely go toe to toe with the S1000R and Super Duke 1290.

So, GREAT JOB EBR!!!

I think it's great that they have another model available. I am not not a fan of the look though. The 1190's have an odd mix of both angular and curved body styles that is just not working for me. It's unfortunate but they do have a history of stumbling when it comes to the appearance.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that looks to be the same sensor on the 1190rx, for traction control purposes.

Well, let the sadness set in now...

Either way, they can do more than just traction control, right?

It shows that at least they are trying to incorporate new tech into their bikes. It took a number of years in development before today's ABS and traction control was anything above garbage. They're on the right path.

The 1190RX owner's manual mentions traction and wheelie control.

TC-3 is good for pulling about 35 hp out of it on a dyno.

It's purist, the original street fighters were crashed bikes with the plastics pulled off. Pull the bodywork off, you're left with the giant muffler showing and the functional ducting.

From a form follows function standpoint, I like it. Maybe a sexier exhaust solution in future, but for what they need to, and can do right now, it's right on the money.

A well ventilated color matching cover for those fans would be nice.

The secondary can probably pulls right off, then you can just add some tips. Problem solved.

Sure...if you want it to run like crap. It's a quarter-wave tuner, much like a 2 stroke's large capacity muffler. Keep it, smooth power and torque. Lose it...flat spots and hiccups.

I like the headlight assembly better that way, it just seems cleaner looking. The radiator setup is different between the RS and RX with the cooling fans, so that part looks ok to me.

Thomas has a few pretty nice machines, I'll give him that for sure. I like the "new" front fender he put on it as well.

The Typhon is better looking but there is no fans on the radiators does not work well on the street. The head lights look better too, looks like an opportunity for some one to make a small fortune with their artistic abilities.

I just figured the fans were behind the radiators like most normal cooling systems.
