Just saw this post on the local EBR dealer's Facebook page. They delivered their first 1190RX today. Anybody on here? Too excited to post up? I'm going to go there tomorrow to see if they have any more in stock. Have any other dealers out there received theirs in yet?

I'm debating between yellow and red and can't make up my mind. I've had red bikes before, current 1125 is black, xb9 is blue but soon to be orange.

I'm wanting to see one in person to make up my mind which I like the most. The red looks great in pictures but I've always had a soft spot for yellow on bikes (my 2002 ZX6R and 2001 Mille R were both yellow). In fact the 2003 XB9S in yellow was the bike that made me fall in love with Buell.

I agree, I would have had a 2004 XB12 in yellow. But the owner said it was too much bike for me as a first bike and didn't sell it to me. Ended up with a awesome Sun fire red. But one wonders.

Wife gave the nod last year before Christmas, so yeah, probably. Thinking about selling my 1125 though, don't have room for 3 bikes in the garage. She said something about selling the XB, but I'm leaning more toward keeping that one for a slower bike to ride. Don't really need 2 fast ones unless I keep it for a track bike.

Waiting on a call back from the local dealer, they don't know when they'll get their allotment in. Don't really want another black bike this time, so yellow or red it will be. I'm almost leaning toward yellow just because it's different. I have red leathers though, so it's a tough call.

And they are sure proud to have it. The yellow is growing on me too.

I think the yellow appeals because the images we have etched in our memories while waiting for the next incarnation of Buell from Erik was yellow and very similar to EBR's 1190RX

Pffft, call the dealer again, now they're saying April before they get their first shipment, it will be a red one. Not happy now.

Yeah. At first I couldn't tell if the bike was really small or he was a giant.

They got a black one in today that they're going to use as a demo bike. I got to take a look at it in the back of their truck. Really great looking bike in person and I seemed way higher quality in person than it did in earlier pics. I'll have to post up some pictures when I get home.

I'm not a big fan of the yellow. It's kinda dull. A flat metallic yellow would be awesome. The black and red look pretty good.

They look mean in person. Can't wait until they hit the used market and my broke ass can afford one.

When someone in Oregon gets one please let Cox Racing Group know as they are waiting to get their hands on one to make Radiator and Oil cooler guards for it.I want them for mine but being in Las Vegas isn't much help. Waiting for dealer to get oil filter in to do 1st service on mine then taking it to Dyno-Jet to let them make a Power Commander V for it. Very impressive bike so far likes to rev.

Cox makes some great stuff. I had their radiator shields on both my ZX's.

is this you at the top Vegasbiker? Any chance you can throw us a short review of the bike?

Yes the 1st picture is me and my RX. Great bike handles like my Ducati 999S and BMW S1000RR light nimble pick a line it goes.Engine likes to rev doesn;t do well below 4000 but is happy as a clam from 5000 to redline. Have 800 miles on it and waiting for dealer to get oil filter to do first service. Monday it goes to Dyno-Jet from them to design PC V . will post up opinion once it's installed.
