Nice article. I felt the same way. I really hope they get the chance they deserve.
I think I'm in the minority because I was never a big fan of the Uly, but the basic 1190 bike with higher bars, more comfortable riding position slightly larger than RX fairing and bags would be very interesting to me.
A bike like that would be fun to ride but still comfortable and practical for long trips. Most "sport-tourers" seem to grow to the point that they swing way too far toward the luxury side and abandon the 'sport' part of the equation.
This is what I'm looking for:
I want that bag setup soooo bad for my RX. i really need it for my trip to the alps this summer.
I would like to know how its attached to the subframe. this is the best picture i could find of the bags.
They wouldn't let me get any closer to it for more pics, that was the best I could get.
There is a closeup of this bike inside EBR's offices in this video beginning at about 1 minute 30 seconds, but I really can't see any more than you do in the still pics:
