I'm just hoping now we'll get to see some real Buell bikes that the average person can afford.

The good thing about Hero bikes is I don't see them competing at all with EBR when they come to America.
he was/is trying to build capital into the business...production of 100 of the 1190RS at 40k a pop...4 mil there, believe I read Hero came in with 2 mil, correct me if I'm wrong. the average joe can't afford a 40k bike, anyone got a figure of how many he has sold thus far? business strategy on EBR's part to sell to Hero, R&D you bet...to bring something new to the market. Is it so strange to go outside the box, no. take a look at HD in designing the V Rod, didn't they out source the engine to Porche?
we'll just have to sit back and wait n' see what comes of it. for most of us, if not all an affordable EBR model.
All of them. They're doing another run of 35 this year, I guess more as a pre-production run for the RX model. I don't think this run will be labeled as "1190 RS" but instead will just be "EBR RS" possibly. I'm also not sure what type of parts it will have on it, but I'd assume it's the same stuff, just some mild upgrades or revisions to parts.anyone got a figure of how many he has sold thus far?
Sounds like they are trying the KTM/Bajaj model to me. Gool luck is all I have to say, and I can't wait for the new bikes!
Erik also had interest from some Chinese fund, this was an year ago, don't know if it fall through, info here
