Hello all. Like many, I am a new EBR owner interested in knowing how many exist. In particular, how many 1190RX bikes. Since there are apparently no credible sources at this time I am proposing we each post up the last 4 digits of our VINs and see where we end up. If the mods will let me continue to update this original post, I will periodically update the posted numbers here. Thanks in advance for your participation!

I just picked up #302 in Houston last week. I've been a member of the Aprilia forums for a decade, owned all brands of bikes except Buell - until now. I couldn't pass up a brand new RX for $9,995. I will be racing the bike in CMRA for a few events this year and next year. If anyone can give me a tip on where to source a race ECM, I would greatly appreciate it!

When it was announced in late 2013 that the RX would be competing in WSBK, the rules required that 1000 bikes be made available for sale to the public within a certain time frame, I believe by the end of the 2014 WSBK season. I believe it was further broken down that something like 150 bikes had to be ready by the opening of the WSBK season, and there may have been a couple more milestones. They didn't have to have all 1000 bikes completed before they could enter competition. I do remember a news article showing WSBK officials inspecting the initial production run at EBR's factory and giving them the blessing to compete.

The complication to this is that BiMota got the rules changed so they didn't have to produce so many bikes to enter WSBK that year. Whether that was applied to EBR's production run, I don't know.

It'll be interesting to see what serial numbers show up.

UPDATE: I found the article I referred to above-

http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/popular/fim-confirms-erik-buell-racing-meets-homologation-volume-requirement-wsbk-denies-bimota/

The article is dated 13 February 2014. At that time, EBR had just completed 125 1190RX's and met the homologation requirement as certified by FIM officials. The article further says they had to produce 500 bikes by 30 June 2014 and 1000 bikes by December 31st. I don't know if they met those additional milestones or not.

UPDATE 2: I found another related article. According to this one, the rules were revised later in 2014 so that only 250 bikes had to be produced in the first year and 1000 (total) by the end of the second year of competition. That doesn't really give us much of a clue as to how many EBR produced in total:

Not to be like the annoying little brother that says, wait for me you guys! But I would like to speak with you as well about the ECM and some race tips/setup.
I have searched the whole planet. Finally got a hold of Jens in Sweden who was actually part of the build team at one point at Buell. They make the race tip exhaust themselves there in Sweden. He has been working with Erik to do some aftermarket software ECM. I will keep you in the loop. They are supposed to know something next week if they can go ahead with the new one

I got it from Goe Kawasaki south of Houston. They have several more you can snag at the same price. They had one more black one that was #301 when I got mine. They are good to work with.

Number 229,
I bought mine last July, so I wonder why my number is so high in comparison to everyone else's. I think the build date in it is April 14. I'm curious to know when the build date on someone's that is below 50? If anyone has time to respond that would be interesting. That may help us find out a little bit more of the number out there. Unless I'm reading mine wrong. The last 3 numbers are 229.

05-25-2015, 08:08 PM
Ace117 and mine are both RX's. My only guess is that EBR had over a hundred assemblies stockpiled before they started production, and then they didn't necessary build in sequential order.

Hmmm .. my RX #136 was Built 01/2014 ..... But I see above that 32 was built 03/2014 .. how does that happen? I guess they just pick a frame off the shelf.

It would appear that way. I wonder if it drove whomever controlled production supplies and whomever recorded the numbers crazy. I used to handle both those duties, not with a manufacturer but with an AC company. The disorganized way the guys would rip thru my supplies drove me nuts. I kept notebooks with dates, serial numbers and locations of installed equipment, inventory etc. For a long time I could tell someone over the phone exactly where the part they needed was in 3 different supply locations from memory.

I'm going to guess that the highest VIN out there is still under 330. I haven't seen anything over that. Time will tell if that is going to make these valuable because of exclusivity.....

05-28-2015, 12:29 PM
They were in production roughly 15.5 months. At at only 1 bike a day taking out weekends, holidays roughly it's about 334? Probably more than that because i don't see them letting elves stand around twiddling their thumbs.

oddball
05-28-2015, 12:32 PM
The expected numbers required for racing by the end of last year was 1000 and 500 by june? Someone had said they eased off of the requirements. I dunno. It doesn't seem logical that 100+ elves would only get to a bike a day. Unless they really are tiny? LOL

EBR had bikes in Europe, Russia, South Africa, and Australia...just to name a few of their international markets.
Typically the VIN will have a designator for an international unit to differentiate them from domestic units.

SO, you could have a US VIN ending in 001, an EU VIN ending in 001, and an Australian VIN ending in 001....all of them being 2014 RX models.
Food for thought.

Well purchased two weeks ago and finally got a chance to ride as I was out of town for work. Put 200 miles on today.

Unfortunately it appears that I am one of the unlucky ones to have a low fuel light stay on regardless. The bike runs well on all counts however. Very satisfied so far.

After closer inspection, I am disappointed with the casting of the wheels. The inside portion looks extremely cheap. When I look inside of the wheel I expect to see it say something like Tonka.
Lol

it handles very nicely and it's just as pleasing to ride as my Ducati, if not more.
Will post again when I can really start to open it up after the initial service .

To those of you with new EBRs and who have little or no dealer support, especially if you've never owned a bike with a fully adjustable suspension before, PLEASE take the time to set up your suspension correctly. It makes a HUGE difference on Buells and I'm sure it does on EBRs as well. You can do a full adjustment front and rear in 10 or 15 minutes; complete instructions are in your owner's manual starting on page 71. Start by adjusting it based on your weight and then fine-tune it (if necessary) based on the instructions in the manual.

I met and talked to the EBR demo van driver a couple of months ago. At the time, he was going around to EBR demonstration events with Cory West. He said it was amazing how many EBR owners they met had never touched the suspensions on their bikes (and many were scared to do so!). This guy said he and Cory made a point to ensure every EBR that showed up at one of their events left with the suspension properly adjusted.

Back to the EBR..."black" comment.
With apologies to the EBR guys, calling this black, black, is like calling orange...red. Close, but no cookie. Not even close to the front fender...black..!
Interesting that there is a Lincoln MKx that parks where I walk by to go to the building I work in that "appears" to be the same color. One day leaving for the day, I rolled my "black" bike around to see just how close the Lincoln color is to the EBR color.
If it's not the exact same color...I'd be surprised. I laid the front of the bike right onto the Lincolns fender...same/same.

Now I just have to try to find what "they" call this color. I'll leave a note on the car asking the year (they change colors almost every year)...see what happens...

I have exactly the same situation with the fuel gauge and casting.
The dealer situation in Russia is unclear, so I'll drive so. The rate is not affected)))

Lets not all be quick to bash EBR's quality control on the tightness of bolts and accessories. I haven't seen how EBR's were crated when they left the plant, but if they are shipped like most other bikes, the mirrors, clip-ons, and a host of other accessories are installed/adjusted to the proper location by the dealer that un-crates the bike - and it is their service tech's job to double check everything and test ride the unit before selling it.

Mostly a very educated guess based on dealings with other MC manufacturers.
They will typically have different distinguishers early in the VIN to callout the market that they are manufactured for.

Agreed with the different distinguishers for the intended market, but based on the VIN breakdown from the owner's manual and no duplicate production numbers being posted here to date, I am of the belief that there is only one production number per bike regardless of market.

1190RX US VIN 0001 sits in Barber's museum. On the EBR 1190 Owners Group page on Facebook an owner in Germany (if I recall correctly) stated that his 1190RX is VIN 0001, but it would be 1190RX EU VIN 0001.

What puzzles me is the 0 for USA (All) and the 3 for USA 49 state...

There was a delay on approval for sale in California - remember reading about dealers in CA not having bikes available for a couple months.
This is likely the reason for a 49 state (not CA compliant) and a "USA" model designator, even though the bikes were exactly the same. Maybe a paperwork delay thanks to CARB?

Agreed with the different distinguishers for the intended market, but based on the VIN breakdown from the owner's manual and no duplicate production numbers being posted here to date, I am of the belief that there is only one production number per bike regardless of market.

Somebody on FB had the same production number as me. Theirs is a yellow bike in Florida, mine is red in California

How often do you talk with Erik? That's pretty awesome that he works directly with developers to get everything produced.

I've heard that about 400 went to European markets, so that should mean that if they actually distributed the 1000, 600 are here in the states. I wonder how many of the 1000 they actually built and sent out...

Well, the cover on my cluster broke itself lose on the way home, and shifted down, only held by the wires. I used zip ties to hold it in place. And I'm having major fueling issues, she hesitation under load and stalls out randomly at idle. On the way bank to the dealer the charging system warning came on and stayed. Very frustrating to say the least, and I'm really not sure how much the dealer can really help me out on it.
The dealer was almost 100 miles from home, so I've only managed to put about 230 miles on her.
But when she was running right it was awesome.

For what it may be worth, my dealer has said that there are very few parts "not" available.

Good luck.

But Pacific Coast Highway Powersports has a listing for VIN #17 (http://www.pchpower.com/new_vehicle_detail.asp?veh=381245&pov=4062163) and it is a Galactic Black. So... who has the wrong VIN???

I know for a fact that several very early RX owners communicated with the guys on the demo truck that they were a must. The design of the radiators really does gulp AND FLOW a lot of air. Back road bombing and track riding in close proximity to other 190 and up clad machines gets rubber and stones thrown their way pretty quick.

The dealer did discover that my high beams are not working though, bummer. I'll need to check for head light assembly's next.

Can you guys who post the VINs share what the 12th digit is (the "target market" digit, such as USA 49/All state model, EU, or Australia), and what color you got? I like to look for patterns and trends (call me weird).

For example, I have yet to see a Laguna Blue SX that was a "USA 49 state" model! I am also seeing what may be color trends as they are built on the mfg line, but I need much more data! Additionally, there were reports of early duplicate VINs, though I have only confirmed one in which the same sequence# was used but the "target market" digit differed, which I was not expecting. Thanks!

buell-fan
08-01-2015, 09:39 PM
ReadyXB, the production of the Laguna Blue SX's were assembled after EBR had a 50 State CARB certification for their bikes. It may be that the ecm mapping for the earlier bikes is "better" for the engine, if EBR had to tweak it leaner for California to get the 50 state cert. Some of the bikes are reported to run super hot at idle because of the current ecm mapping.

Check out your 12th VIN number digit to see where it originates from. There are four possibilities. Two of the possibilities that should pertain to you being, if it is a 50 state legal bike it will be (0) or a 49 state legal bike is (3). Or the other possibility is the other #40 bike may be an SX with (BB) denoted in the VIN, versus (AA) denoting the RX.

I hope you got them to give you a good deal on it based on that pronouncement! They can get some new lights for their showroom now that they have a fresh check in their hands. Galactic black looks much better outdoors anyway.

color is totally a personal preference thing...
I think it looks better under fluorescent or LED... under the sun not so much... but on a bright side, while in the sun, I am generally not looking at the color as watching the road is far more important (and much more fun...)
only deal I got was the RED WHITE & BLUE $2K that had going back in 2014...

Hi, I am new to this forum. I really do like EBR however I can't get over the front break set up I mean does the single disc actually work? I wish they would come up with a Brembo set up like on the Ducati. I have been searching about this issue and have come up with yet another question... Does anyone make a kit like this aftermarket wise to convert the newer 1190sx or rx to a Brembo set up?

It's been around since 2002 (Buell XB9R) and they've steadily improved it since then. It works, and it especially works well in street applications. A top line dual disk setup may best it in something like World Superbike where relentless, repeated, maximum effort, very high speed braking is required. You won't come close to that in any kind of street or track riding.

Remember, it's not really intended to be a better braking system, it's intended to provide equal braking with better handling due to reduced unsprung weight.

If you want to convert you're going to have to change forks, front wheel (the single perimeter disk is fundamental to the structural design of the wheel), and master cylinder.

Try it, you'll like it.

I really love the ZTL's function and form. It's brilliant and unique and most people who truly understand the advantages also love it.

Just think if they had the funds to contract someone major like brembo to make them a carbon ceramic rotor and trick caliper for racing. You'd certainly be seeing more championships then.

Though I find it very impressive how it and EBR in general manages to be competitive and even win at their current stage. The whole design is still relatively new and will improve on the track as time goes on and funds go up.

Right now it has plenty of stopping power on the street and works great. It feels like a traditional setup and is all I'll ever need.

I will never have any desire to switch. You don't need two. Just like it turned out you don't need two rear shocks. I like just one and I'd feel like I was moving backward.

Time goes on and things evolve. I have faith.

And even though theres only one disc it can still do a lot of braking. even at superbike level ;)

How much are they asking for the front rotor, pads and caliper? I know I have seen it on there shop and I tried to find it so i could link to it here, but couldn't find it anymore.
yes sicom makes that kit for the rear.. but it's only for the xb as far as i know.

I posted the link a while back but no one was intersted. The kit is €2058,73 and it comes with the mounting hardware, the disk and pads and it only weighs 1.76lbs! Your OE caliper will need to be sent to twin so they can machine it to fit the thicker carbon rotor. I was going to cantact 5-0 to set up the purchase, I don't think the price is bad considering a conventional disk carbon system will set you back around 5k

I'm under the impression that carbon brake rotors are only viable for pure racing applications. They don't work properly until they get VERY hot, which only occurs under race conditions.

They look very cool, but I suspect you wouldn't be very happy with them on a street bike.

As far as my understanding goes they work as well or better at normal use, but when they get VERY HOT they won't fade as normal breaks do. but I have never tried it on a bike. only in the new bmw m5 and there it's working very well for street use.

Can you guys who post the VINs share what the 12th digit is (the "target market" digit, such as USA 49/All state model, EU, or Australia), and what color you got? I like to look for patterns and trends (call me weird).

For example, I have yet to see a Laguna Blue SX that was a "USA 49 state" model! I am also seeing what may be color trends as they are built on the mfg line, but I need much more data! Additionally, there were reports of early duplicate VINs, though I have only confirmed one in which the same sequence# was used but the "target market" digit differed, which I was not expecting. Thanks!

Each year the build number starts over again, and there is one set of numbers for the RX and a another run of numbers for the SX (there can be a RX with 001 and an SX with 001). The year just changes the 8th digit.

Here are a few Laguna Blue examples:
12th digit 0:

546BBAG26EE000145
12th digit 3:
546BBAG29EE300110
​546BBAG20EE300111
546BBAG21EE300120
546BBAG22EE300126
546BBAG23EE300152

As you can see by the final digits, these are mixed throughout the line. All of these bikes have a build date in July 2014.
Good info. You had two VINs I hadn't seen before. And there were several VINs for which I had previously put as a "?" for the 12th digit, but with your info, they changed to a "3" :)

We may have a conflict for VIN 126:
546BBAG22EE300126 (your data)
546BBAG22EE000126 (my data)
I had this VIN as a Laguna Blue SX crate bike being sold by Besser's Bike Barn (ebay "theodditorium") in Sauk Rapids, MN. Does match your records?
If not, then they are probably two separate bikes- the 12th digit being what prevents it from being a duplicate VIN. (I have several similar cases)

I bought 2014 VIN #003 from LAP. This was the demo bike used at AIMExpo and for a lot of promotional photo shoots. It was not the one used for journalists' demo rides, as mine has 2.2 miles on the odometer. Once it gets delivered to FL, I'll go over the bike and start putting some miles on it. :) Being an early bike, I know I need to update a few parts before I ride on a regular basis. Looking forward to it!

Gian,

Congrats on your purchase. After talking with Erik and some of the original employees who were there with the pre-production bikes, that's not exactly how it went.

Hey there! Just joined the forum. I bought #0048 last week, made in 01/14. Bought it "new" with 60 miles on it (was a left over demo model). Bought it in Fort Myers, FL. Now have 360 miles and loving every minute so far!

Nice! What color? I used to live in Lehigh and run the Costco Optical in Ft Myers at Daniels and 41.

That's awesome! It's red, soon to be white to match my mustang. Let me know if you're ever in town. Always looking for someone to ride with!

Gian,

Congrats on your purchase. After talking with Erik and some of the original employees who were there with the pre-production bikes, that's not exactly how it went. Yours is another early pre-production bike with a little more history. I'll send you a private message with more detail so watch your inbox. (I've got #003).

Please share the details with us.....

2014 RX VIN#
546AAAG21EE000018 is being sold with a salvage title in CA. Not sure who owned it in the past, but sad to see a wrecked early RX.

I feel like a real dick. I didn't even see this until now. It is an RX! FYI they still have a white SX at Freedom Eurocycle in Vegas. I believe its now at 7500?
