I'm picking up my 2012 1190RS Carbon Edition in couple weeks. My dealership is sending the rear section to Erik Buell to have him autograph it for me.

I bumped up the max file size on pictures, please try again. Keep them under a meg each. Congrats on the new bike!!!

We still have #10 available with the magnesium wheels if anyone else needs one.....

What is the weight savings on the wheels between the RS and the RX?

VIN #026 was seized by the US Marshals and sold at auction along with the owner's car/bike collection (Ferrari, McClaren, Mosler, Ducati, etc.) to help repay part of money that was embezzled.

The future owner may have the only infamous 1190RS. It is currently for sale on eBay (with no mention of it's previous owner - no surprise there).

Ride it like you stole it? :)

No, the owner of the bike was an accountant that worked for some company owned by a professional golfer.

This bike is on eBay again now, I think... Portland, Oregon

Yeah, it still hasn't sold yet. $20k is kind of the ceiling for a 0 mile carbon RS. This one has some miles (less than 100) and is used (technically) but is also signed by Erik, so I would say that $20k is still a reasonable price to sell it for. The $27,500 price....is not. Lol

Looks like a bargain next to LAP's 5 mile, $35,000 obo offering.

There is a big difference between asking price and what the bikes are actually selling for.

The RS are the best looking and built of the 1190's. No headers coming apart, no gauge problems, no cracked tails, no starter corrosion. Sucks to be poor.

LAP offered me $19,500 to take one off their hands, so don't believe the $35,00 price tag on eBay.

I got one, new in the crate, March of 2015.
2012 model #93 for a tad over 20k USD.
Tight as a 2 dollar watch, finest motorcycle I have ever ridden.

If you get a chance to buy one.... DO IT!!!!!

buell-fan,
That's much more like it as far as price.

Yours is a beauty zac.

Looks just like AF1's. I've drooled over pics of theirs for years.

That there is the difference between a hand built race bike and a early production machine...

Congrats, she's a beaut!

Any dramas with it?

Hardest part was getting an RS that had magnesium wheels still on it.

I got # 26 with magnesium wheels after looking for a few years.

Others that I came across had aluminum wheels.

The magnesium wheels have a rougher sand cast surface, compared to the aluminum ones.

Congrats on the purchase. I'll shoot you a PM in a moment with info about the RS registry and some unique history of your bike (in case you weren't aware).
