all-in-all positive reviews, let's hope sales will be as positive!

so other than the the looks its a +45 hp 1125.same 43 mm showas and brakes in front,pretty much same frame,swingarm and rear suspension.hopefully the standard will be something to talk about.i was going to buy another bike this spring but im waiting i hope i wont be disapointed.

Nope, Big Piston Forks for the RX, along with an upgraded rear shock. Much more user friendly for adjustments, the ride is a lot better dialed in using their stock suggestions. Pretty sure they sold them as an upgrade for the 1125's for about $1400 for the forks alone. Rear shock was probably $600 or so from what I remember.

i sure hope they do something special with the standard.something to justify 16-17k price it will have maybe some ohlins forks.

At least I hope they won't water[down the SX as is the norm these days, I hope it will too have 185hp and as much torque as the RX!

They also added a short video

Completely different frame, swingarm, geometry, fuel injection & forks/shock. Other than the brakes and engine block (maybe clutch parts too), there arent many 1125 parts on these bikes.

Anrkism did say"pretty much"the same parts. And they are for the most part the same designs, improved, but not some crazy leap of revolutionary engineering. I agree the sticker price if high, but so are all the rest of the"premium"sport bikes out there. I'm really curious to see the ax,I think that will be the one that'll either kick ass or totally suck.

You need to see one in person before you make that assumption.
