    Ted, any word on a clear announcement of a dealer network? It seems like there are many dealers already onboard, but they haven't made them easy to find. It seems like they need a clear and unambiguous route on their website for people to find their closest dealer to submit a deposit. It seems like they're losing some of the value of all this buzz by not making it as simple as possible for people.

    ^ Good question. My guess is EBR reps in Orlando are currently working their butts off to recruit more dealers since the first ~2.5 days of the show are for dealers only. They're probably holding off posting the listing for at least a few days until they see how this plays out. I'd also guess there are some prospective dealers that have been holding off on signing with EBR until they actually see what the bike looks like and what the public reaction to it is. If that was the holdup, I can't imagine there are still any fence-sitters after yesterday.

    BTW- The number 6 repeatedly hinted at on Badweb was confirmed to be the number of 1190RX's that were assembled for the AIMExpo.

    Well at least that answers that question.

    Ted,
    Have you had a chance to ride one yet?

    Any info on accessories or maintenance schedules?

    official dealer list should be posted very soon....they were waiting until we actually placed orders for the bikes so they know who really is on board as a dealer.

    Its now time for would-be dealers to put up or shut up.

    We placed our initial order. We decided on a red demo, and selling stock of all the colors.

    Have not ridden one yet.

    I do know the engine does not have to be rotated for valve adjusts like the 1125, they made it so the rear valve cover can come off easier. Pretty sure maintance intervals are the same as the 1125 was.

    Galatic Black for me please!
    I don't think the Red will sell as well, (looks very MVish in red) but it will be the most durable color. The Yellow makes the lines of the bike POP. Are you guys ordering the min of 6 or do you have more deposits down already than that?

    Are there any plans in the works to do a special promo delivery day for those of us who have put down depsoits with you guys? I plan to make a couple days of it.

    The engine rotation was a function of the pods and cooling system in the 1125r. In race trim with ram-air bodywork, the motor doesn't need to be rotated, either. One simply removes the k-backet fastener to the tank/chassis, and it then rotates up or easily just lifts off. You can leave water in the bike during the service.
