EBR 1190RS vs Suzuki GSXR 1000

One great race!

[@morteparla6926]

Those Buell's were such a monsterously great bike platform. They really allowed a good rider to pull corners off in a fastion that no bike has any business doing. Absolutely insane.

[@fvgc454ss]

Interesting fact the EBR had to add 14lbs of dead weight to meet requirements and had no electronic rider aids this race. No traction control abs etc. Blake's bike had every electric aid it could have.

[@markwinchester3005]

Exactly. A superior design proven & more importantly the STREET!

The braking set-up on the EBR is amazing....I used to work at a HD dealership in early 2000's and was able to test ride an XB1200....one finger braking or be prepared to be thrown over the handlebars.

[@Bruce.Wallace]

Some of the best racing you'll ever see. EPIC

[@nunyabidness9257]

Not to brag, but I bought one of these RS's last year and it rides exactly like it looks in this video. It's a seriously good bike-not super fast up top compared to today's bikes, but it murders anything out of a corner and the front feels like you can do no wrong on or off the brakes. There are still a few of these new in the crate, and they cost less than the suspension would if you had to replace it. Mine was cheaper than my R1M... and a whole lot more fun to ride.

[@norseman5041]

Have a 2014 RX, love this bike. I bought it in 2016 and it had 460 miles on it. I also have a XB12Scg, but these two bikes with very different powerplant is not comparable at all.

[@fvgc454ss]

I have an 1190sx full dean adams exhaust, tune, 4 up rear and tuned suspension. I actually have a carbon RS tail section and airbox cover on it. It's one of the best handling and fastest accelerating bikes I've ever ridden and I've had just about every liter bike made. I feel like 0-130/140 not much will hang with it which in most places and tracks is all that matters unless very high speed. Like u said especially out of a corner it pulls so hard and corners on rails. Sounds awesome as well. Great bikes

Wow. Go EBR!

[@DIYDanCars]

I loved every single one of Eric Buell's motorcycles. I don't understand how a bike this good could not sell?! Even the XB's with the archaic Harley engine were not only sexy looking, but boy were they good fun! It's now kind of ironic that Harley is having a heck of a time capturing the minds of younger buyers. In my opinion closing down Buell was a short term gain with long term consequences. RIP Buell Motorcycle Company.

[@AshtrayAnnie]

I can tell you that very few dealerships ever tried selling or pushing the Buell's. I remember walking into a HD dealer as a 17yo back in the early to mid 2000s and seeing my first Buell. They only had 2 of them in the dealership and it seemed none of the guys were over looking at them. I couldn't believe that they went under either. After seeing what an incredible machine they were. HD should've been trying to hire younger guys who rode street bikes. And each dealer should've had at least 6-10 of those things in different styles. Man did they mess that up. Not only that but if they were to buy up an actual engine maker who made race engines....these things could've been able to compete in the GP on the regular. It's pretty clear that from this video alone, if that Buell had a more similar powered V-Twin to Ducatis, these things would've pulled away in every aspect with the right riders. And all the sudden, the bikes would've been doing their own advertising. Harley is on the way out sadly. Even the younger generation, when they are buying Harleys, they're looking for relic older HDs to turn into Cafe Racers, so HD isn't seeing a dime of that business. American companies always find a way to ruin themselves through stubbornness. And its never the ones who made all the wrong choices that have to witness it. They're all filled with people with the "money now" mindsets. And not looking at what damage they're doing in 10yrs time. Everybody except for old school bikers are sick of the whole revamped "sportster, dyna, ultra glide, softails, etc". Paying 2-3x more than japanese bikes for 2-3x less power, efficiency, fun. Even if they were to sink half their budget into the performance world now, they wouldn't be able to catch up. 1yr of sales and people would be like I just paid double the price of a Honda for this Harley Sportsbike that has none of the technology, the engines low speed power is useless in racing, etc. I went on too far with this rant, but it truly is a travesty.

[@josephedwards8992]

The whole point, is that the 1190 EBR won this race, inch or mile, the point is, this motorcycle can do it. Considering it's a one small company from WI. going against so many super sport companies. It is what it is. It may not be the best, but it ain't the worst. It's pretty good for the small American company. Bacon, Guns, Bikes = America. and yes, muscle cars and 4 wheel trucks and bikinis and big booty biotches. You all get it. Proof is in the pudding. Regardless of the closing of this business.

[@fvgc454ss]

Possibly the dumbest comment I've seen on KZbin

[@timmythemouse6439]

Basic physics. A 2 cylinder has heavier reciprocating mass restricting RPM. A 4 cylinder has lighter reciprocating mass and is capable of much higher RPM. Horsepower is calculated torque X RPM. Rules take this into consideration.2 cylinder has more low end torque, 4 cylinder has more top end power. A larger 2 cylinder is equal to a smaller 4 cylinder overall.
