Yummy, looks like a cross with some ducati 999 flavor in it (loved that bike) I would ride that baby hard. Far better than the other ugly duckling 1125r (sorry guys)

Don't want! I liked the 1125 better, but it's good to see him back. I hope he manages to build the bikes he wanted now that he doesn't have to please HD's bean counters.

I'd love to have one, but price estimates are in the low to mid 40s. A bit rich for my blood. Hopefully his attendance at the dealer show means he's trying to get a network of dealers on board to sell 'em. It would make a lot of sense if he could partner with someone who also uses Rotax power, like maybe Aprilia. (not that their dealer network doesn't leave something to be desired too)

will he have a regular 1190 version that the common people can afford as well?
this really could go somewhere as the only American Made Sportbike (I dono whatever happened to the fisher) and even at the 20k range, he would have a shot I think.

all I can find is the 1190 which looks like the same ol same ol (nice bike though) and supposedly this motor is 185 rwp !!!!! oh oh KS looks like Beamer is going DOWN!!
