Total Motorcycle is now official Media/Press for 35 manufacturers.

It is with great honour that so many motorcycle manufacturers have joined on with Total Motorcycle and allowed us to bring this information to you with their full permission.

It my take a lot of time, effort and patience to become accerdited media/press for these companies, but I think it's worth it and I hope you agree. Being official media/press for so many manufacturers gives us access to information, photos and news others sites just do not have and cannot get access to.

As always, enjoy and keep coming back for more.

I'd have loved it if EBR's logo was a phoenix, but I guess that would've been too expected. But "Fiercely independent" is a great slogan.

I agree, a phoenix would have been really neat, but in the long run people would wonder about it I think and you are right on the money with the slogan, it's great.

The 3 other EBR models will be interesting when they arrive, the AX, RX and SX. I'm hoping to see a naked in there as well as an entry level bike so it gets people into the EBR brand like the Blast! 500 did.

Yup, $40,000 dollars for the 2012 EBR 1190RS, but there are only 100 of them to be made, and it's their first production bike and the R&D of it must be high as well... I'm hoping the other 3 models due to come out will be under the $15,000 mark.

They're basically hand-building those bikes. No real production facility, just a shop. I'm rooting for Erik because he's the real deal, but he needs investors big time. Production needs to be automated and volumes vastly increased before unit prices can go down.

It's awesome but price is astronomical. They're eventually going to need to get an assembly plant. I don't know if they can work a deal with polaris industries or something like that. One thing's for certain Erik Buell can't be as restricted as he was.

Perhaps Can-Am or Rotex might be an angle.
Always ask why.
