I voted: AWESOME

I think Erik is on the right track here. He always wanted to make a motorcycle in his image of what a bike should be. The 2012 EBR 1190RS is hopefully one of many as different models come out, different styles and different price points. I'd love to see a new version of the Buell BLAST again as it helped get riders into not only Buell but into motorcycling. It's "slowness" boosted rider skill advancement in fact as it was so unintimidating.

The 2012 EBR 1190RS is quite a bike for the first version, Peak Horsepower 175 hp @ 9750 rpm and under 390lbs, wow. That's great. Now for a bike for the rest of us... (please make one sub-$13k)

Welcome back Erik Buell!

Voted cool, but thought the badge on the tank looked like another brand at first...

I'll put in an awesome vote. Price aside it's hard to beat those specs.

Hyper the Tubers are real pretty machines the XB's handle better but I'd still take a tuber over an XB except a CityX blacked out in hero blue OMG gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have currently an 1125CR with the 146hp Helicon Rotax motor and it's crazy powerful more than I need the 1190RS must be a SUPER JOY to ride and it looks BADASS the Helicon motor is really a fun powerplant it has very linear power and is usuable all the way up the revs to redline!!!!!
there aint nothin like it
