So what do you all think of the new bike they just released?

Fuel Delivery
Electronic Fuel injection with 2 port injectors and 2 showerhead injectors

showerheads huh? .... could be a little heavy on the fuel??!! :twisted:

It is nice to see EBR back on the block, but $19k for a 1200cc sport bike seems really steep. You can buy a lot of bike for $19k.

I can buy S1000RR for less.

You can yes, but hopefully as time goes on that price will go down, just something about being made locally, and in the USA that makes me love it.

Can't say I wouldn't ride it! Although the head light is kinda funky

I highly doubt EBR will ever produce an affordable-to-the-masses sport bike. These "show" bikes are just another dream to most. While Erik Buell always had some neat ideas, he still has some Hardly-Ableson blood in his system that is working against him.

That front brake rotor is interesting. Connects to the outside of the rim instead of the hub putting the caliper on the inside of the rotor thus allowing for a much bigger rotor diameter which = better braking performance. I'm surprised more manufacturers haven't done that.

Ohh and it is designed and manufactured in Wisconsin so it has to be good.
