Erik Buell Racing 1190RR: Erik returns with 185rwhp - Hell For Leather

185 rwhp, 93 lb-ft of rear-wheel torque and only 360 lbs (wet, no fuel) are pretty decent numbers. Mind you, they must be pretty dear.....

Talk about a dollar short and a day late!!!

That thing is sick looking, I'd actually love to see it on the track.

I wonder how the specs compare to the Duc 1198 side by side....anybody know?

Damned fine looking bike.

Specs are listed at the bottom of the article.... My dealer ran a (brand new, not broken in yet) 1098R on the dyno (Dynojet) and told me he was 96 lb-ft of torque (figure that would go up a bit once properly broken in) is that is of any help...

AS for the looks, nice indeed although I'll never get used to take ZTL front disc (mind you, I'll never really have to now)

Might be fun at Jennings, huh?

Now that is nice! Why Buell ever had that mega-ugly blob fairing I'll never get. Still with the big disk though. A few years ago I went to a superbike race where Buell was offering test rides and they told me three of them had been flipped ass over teakettle that very day. They're probably better now buy I haven't heard. EBR...I like that.
