2011 Buell 1190RS Racing Review
When Harley-Davidson, Buell Motorcycle Company of its shutters, a subsidiary in October 2009, the great pioneer of American motorcycle in the last three decades, Erik Buell, seemed to be off the bike-building business.
But anyone familiar with Erik Buell tenacious always knew I would see him and his influence on another streetbike. It was only a matter of time.
Well, that time has become the Expo weekend Powersports Dealer in Indianapolis, Indiana, when Mr. Buell made his 1190RS streetbike again.
"Theyre so deep!" Motorcycle.com said during the debut of the bike, a mixture of euphoria and exhaustion, her face painted.
After Harley-Davidson has killed the Buell Motorcycle Company, Buell has restricted the construction of Streetbike motorcycle competition based solely on the construction of previous production motorcycles. This agreement has been completed.
Vision to produce a Buell sport bike U.S. enters a new chapter with 1190RS, a serious development in the countryside bike racing 1190RR private during the 2010 season with the AMA Superbike pilot Geoff May
Buell RS is covered with fresh new skin, now a real fairing and a new sleek design and cutting edge carbon fiber. His nose is very sharp, with a pair of projector headlights lens over the other similar to the Ducati 999, but a simpler layout.

Meanwhile, the rear is skimpier than anything weve seen before, slotted body only supported by a supporting cast magnesium spider built in the U.S..
Speaking of magnesium wheels RS is very special. Magnesium alloys are generally not used wheel Streetbike pounding from bumps and potholes can damage the metal relatively rigid and brittle.
Speaking of magnesium wheels RS is very special. Magnesium alloys are generally not used wheel Streetbike pounding from bumps and potholes can damage the metal relatively rigid and brittle.
But a newly developed casting - casting ablation - has the ability to vary the properties of the metal in terms of what is needed and allows the conversion in which the metal complex can be formed in a variety of thicknesses. This is particularly true for magnesium components, which can be difficult to launch specific levels. Buell said the new method allows a border area of ductile (able to deform slightly upon impact to maintain the structural integrity), while the region spoke and hub can be built rigid enough to support the bike.
Costly efforts to reduce weight also included the adoption of a lithium ion battery, helping to bring the total mass of less than 400 pounds (wet, but without fuel).

1190RS power only a 1190cc engine modded Buell 1125R expanded through a task of 106 mm diameter. Rotax - co-developer and manufacturer of engines 1125R - bought the rights to the Harley engine and provides CDE with a base unit is then fitted with new cylinders, pistons, crankshaft and camshafts. The ports are smoothed CNC machining. Titanium valves replace steel valves to allow greater speed, somewhere in the upper rpm range-11000, according to Buell. The motor phase switch can rotate up to 12,500 rpm. The engine has recently approved the 1190 EPA testing.
The cast aluminum frame looks outwardly similar to the 1125R, but is actually a new design, a new swingarm, which incorporates a chain drive instead of belt 1125R.
Gone are the awkward double-side-mounted radiators, which made it seem 1125R fat RADS replaced by a twin engine oil cooler in front of the sandwiching near the vacuum pump.
Buell continues his predilection for a front disc brake a little different now with 8-piston Nissin increased carbon through dual-entry fiber to deliver cool air to help heat the hangars. Its CDE has integrated its racebike since mid-last season.
No longer having to build bikes to suit a price level, Buell has equipped the RS high-end componentry. The top-shelf Ohlins fork and shock handle suspension duties, while billet aluminum is used to control foot and triple clamps.

As you can imagine, all this goodness is an exotic high price. Basic models start from $ 39,995, with a list of options that can improve the price of around $ 50K. 1190RSs only 100 built.
The dealer is the next step in the right RBE. Buell says he does not care what brand (s) if the dealer sells at the moment, but he insists that the passion for sport bikes. Initially, the EBR 1190RSs first sold by the operation of the Buell East Troy, Wisconsin, located on the corner of the former factory Buell.
Buell is well known for his endless dedication and hard work, but has again taken to another level. "I worked harder today than I ever dreamed," he said. "Im really strange feeling manic."

And knowing the Buell, we expect more to come from his fertile mind.
"There are lots of options," he said of what could be next, including the ability to design new engines and the bike cold.
1190R-platform development continues at the racetrack with a rider may Geoff test machine to another season in AMA Superbike competition.
Meanwhile, we hope to have a walk in the 1190RS soon as possible. Is there snow on the way to America ...?
