I just picked up #82. All black and carbon just like yours but no EB sig. I would post some pics but they say the ones I have are too big for the forum.:cry:
I bumped up the max file size on pictures, please try again. Keep them under a meg each. Congrats on the new bike!!!Quote:

What is the weight savings on the wheels between the RS and the RX?
Here is mine, #82

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? :)
Was that the owner of the skully company?Quote:

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. LolQuote:

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

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!
Wicked!Quote:

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).Quote:
