New Buell 1190RS superbike – first look

Erik Buell Racing has finally given us a complete look at the new 1190RS sportsbike which will be shown in public this weekend in America.

A Buell with some sense of stylistic proportion? Eric must have finally found his glasses!

Strange

Very, very strange. A Buell that looks okay. Lets hope that at some point we can see Buell's without tractor engines and reliable enough to sell to the public.

I quite like it, think they've done a decent job of it. Something about the exhaust I quite like too lol. I'm guessing still a Rotax engine that has been fiddled by the Buell techs.

11090RS,BUELL LOVE IT.......

Eric Buell must love tormenting people.

This is what the buell should have been like all along!!!

Excellent,like the exhaust,although there is still a big bulbous box hidden way behind fairing(no more Trackerr though,my dear on show)and the new NOSE section of the fairing looks a beaut.

The bike looks very race orientated,radical,just wondering about comfort for the road?

The carbon wheels,i wonder if they will make into production?

When the bike hits the dealers will it be as good as this race version or will it be watered down for the usual regulations?

If the price comes in at £12-14000,then i think Ohlins suspension,Rad Cals and carbon are called for.

First impressions look favourable but like all new models proof is in the living with and riding the macine.......
