Default Erik back in the game.

I'm excited. Erik Buell is coming back to the street bike game.

Show your support and be the very first to get your new 1190RS and new EBR logo merchandise!

1190cc? Will that still compete in the 600cc class?

I wonder if this means when his clause expires in Feb he will be starting out on his own or will try to hook up with a major manufacturer.

I was kinda hoping he went with victory since we have a good shop that handles them AND sportbikes not too far from home.

I sorta hope he lands with Victory too. I'd like to see them do good things with a EB street bike.

I want to like Erik, really.

Unfortunately, I think he has too much Harley in his blood.

So he learned marketing from Harley? What's wrong with that?
Now he has the chance to do for himself what Harley never would do for him.
(market the brand properly)

Um, I guess Erik did learn one thing at Harley.

Clothes sell more than bikes!

There are 13 pics of clothing for sale and 4 pictures of bikes(one of which is the 1125).
