In 2011, Erik and his company, Erik Buell Racing (EBR), decided to get back in the sportbike game with a bang – the EBR 1190RS. 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 extra rare 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 example (VIN: 546AAAG24DE000013) is basically brand new with 2 miles on the odometer – less than a mile per year. It’s never been titled, but you won’t be able to get a warranty on this. Find this EBR 1190RS for sale in Grand Rapids, Michigan with a BIN of $29,000 or best offer
If you’re feeling extra frisky, the liquidation company selling this bike is also selling a former Buell semi/trailer
