“The EBR 1190RS is more than a machine built for homologation needs. It is not the basis for a Superbike; it is a Superbike, more like a racer than anything that has come before, including the Ducati 1098R,” stated Cycle World’s Steve Anderson after putting the RS through its paces for a few dozen laps at Road America.
After things came crashing down with Harley, Erik Buell wasted little time getting the ball rolling on his next marque: Erik Buell Racing. Taking research and development insight and data from from the Buell Barracuda B2, the company’s baker’s dozen of employees succeeded in delivering the small American manufacturer’s first offering, the 1190RS.
The idea was to use AMA superbike competition to gain exposure for the brand in its infancy, and thus 100 homologation examples were produced, each with an exorbitant price tag of $40k. After a generous $25M cash infusion from Hero Motors, EBR was afforded the resources to create a tuned-down, road-oriented, mass-scale production version of the RS called the 1190RX.
Upon its release in 2011 — the same year it was crowned with Cycle World’s “Best Superbike” and Motorcyclist’s “Best Dreambike” — the 1190RS was touted by a myriad of publications as being the least compromising and closest race replica (to the real thing) available to the general public.
