Motorcycle enthusiasts are all familiar with the story of Erik Buell, and the disappointing end of his partnership with Harley-Davidson. Good News – Buell is back! In 2011, Erik and his company, Erik Buell Racing (EBR), decided to get back in the sportbike game with a bang – the EBR 1190RS. Limited to just 75 units in 2012, the RS featured a powerplant that produced 175 horsepower just shy of 10,000 rpm, and it weighed less than 400 pounds wet. This is one of the even-more-limited Carbon Edition models.
Winner of Cycle World’s ‘Best Superbike’ and Motorcyclist’s ‘Best Dreambike’, the EBR 1190RS is a sportbike you can’t go wrong with. Components are top-notch everywhere, like the suspension. You’ll get Ohlins 30mm cartridges, as used in the 1125RR race bike, and Ohlins TTX in the rear. It’s just about as good as it gets. Cycle World stated it well:
“…the EBR 1190RS is more than a machine built for homologation needs. It is not the basis for a Superbike; it is a Superbike, more like a racer than anything that has come before, including the Ducati 1098R. (Geoff May’s new racers are 1190RSs with retimed cams and thin base gaskets, and few other changes.) As such, it’s a near-perfect track-day bike for anyone who can bear the steep price tag.”
This specific EBR 1190RS (VIN: 546AAAG24CE000010) is number 10 of 75. It’s considered new (with a 2 year warranty) and has a whopping 12 miles so there isn’t much of a story to tell – though you will be getting at least a $11k discount from the original MSRP. As it’s a Carbon Edition bike (which was a $4,000 option when new), this bike has all hand-laid carbon bodywork – even pieces like the brake ducts were made from dry carbon. All that carbon fiber saved 5 pounds off the base bike’s weight.
