EBR-1190RX Released - Any Tests?

[TexArmageddon]

After having ridden the bike and having ridden or tested every other liter bike out there except the panigale R, I couldn't care less what the press has to say. The bike simply rails! It stops better(read that as quicker and under greater control) than anything I can remember(Not as much out right violent bite as some but tons of feel). It turns in like a light 600, seems to anticipate what you want to do and do it, before you even realize you are. (Watch that early turn in.) It simply doesn't care about what gear you may be in, twist and go. Yet the transmission is butter! Clunks into first but while on the gas it snicks up and down with little effort. Its very easy to ride. Unlike every Ducati I have ever ridden, you can actually find neutral when you need to. Around town the throttle response and fueling is near perfect. My buddy rode with me up our favorite back roads on a 1098 and among the many places I was able to pull off a pass on him was at every gas station.IJS

:( I didn't find out the release date if the ebr until early January so I won't be able to pull the trigger on my 1190 until may or early June the latest. . But throttle response and fuel mapping were my main concerns because my vfr800 suck at both. I'm glad I found this out before biting down on an s1000rr

Bro there are at least 1 of every color available in Texas. Get in contact with Goe or AF1 they both have one ready to go. The fueling and throttle is so smooth on and off throttle its hard to describe. Its that good.

Oh no the issue wasn't availability. .. The issue was funds... Most was going to the building of my stang, but after riding other bikes I started looking. When my funds are the way I would like them to be I'll be buy it.

Well, apparently the press rode the bikes today at Jennings. Cory West posted it on his Facebook page. I guess we'll see some info in print in a month or two

They seem to be getting a lot of good press, and we seem to be hearing variations of the idea that it's a bike that provides a lot of confidence and it easy to ride fast. That's a very important characteristic in my opinion. I don't care if bike X is a few tenths of a second faster than bike Y in the hands of expert riders running them at peak RPM's. I want to know that when I get on it, it's going to feel like an extension of me and go where I want it to go and where I expect it to go. That's what makes a great bike.
