Twist the Throttle and Enjoy the #Ride on a 2016 @EBR


#EBR Motorcycles announces their 2016 MSRP and showcases its first motorcycles of 2016 rolling off the production line with a Press Day and Public Launch Party

EAST TROY, WI – Riders are ready to throw a leg over America’s sport bike with the announcement that EBR Motorcycles resumed production March 1. The public, Buell® enthusiasts, and EBR fans are rolling in to East Troy, Wisconsin to attend the EBR Launch Party on Friday, March 18. During their Press Day on March 17, the new company, EBR Motorcycles, LLC, announced the 2016 MSRP for the 1190SX at $12,995 and 1190RX at $13,995. The first motorcycle to roll off the production line was a limited edition 1190RX with a patriotic American flag paint job to highlight the fact that EBR Motorcycles are designed and hand built in East Troy, Wisconsin, making them America’s only sportbike, capable of going head-to-head with the European and Asian Superbikes.
“The launch of EBR Motorcycles in 2016 is very exciting for American motorcyclists and the Buell Nation around the globe,” said Bill Melvin. “The team at EBR is top-notch and they have worked enthusiastically towards this day. It’s a great day for America. America can succeed in manufacturing a high performance sportbike that competes with the fastest motorcycles in the world. The excitement over EBR from riders is stunning, and dealers are quickly expressing their interest in being an EBR dealer; EBR is ready to twist the throttle and enjoy the ride!”
A multitude of media attended the EBR Press Day on March 17, and Steve Smith, CEO said, “The dealers and riders are already fired up about signing up for a 2016 EBR. With our aggressive and competitive MSRP, the 1190SX and 1190RX will be priced as a hot item this spring.”
EBR Motorcycles is in the process of making plans to auction and donate the proceeds of the first American patriotic bike off the production line to a national charity that assists American military personnel and veterans.
Founder and CTO, Erik Buell said, “We are glad to see the talk all over the Internet and Facebook about the launch and those coming to the Launch Party event. It is always fun to meet riders in person, that’s what brings joy to the job!”
For 2016, EBR Motorcycles is focused on their restructuring, as well as updates for their 2017 models and development of 2018 motorcycles and future innovations. EBR Motorcycles will continue to work closely with its race sponsors and privateer race teams that achieve success while racing EBRs worldwide.
The EBR Motorcycles team would also like to emphasize that EBR is available for contract engineering of motorcycle or other high-tech products, including electrics. With the many designs already done for Asia, Erik Buell and the team have shown they can design products for other manufacturing companies that are award winning world-class motorcycles.
"Working with Erik and EBR to develop an innovative super bike like the 1190 is just an amazing experience,” said Dan Hurda, Director of Engineering. “And on top of that, we are working on so many other exciting designs for the future. It’s the kind of job every kid who goes to engineering school dreams of.”

God bless Erik Buell for trying, but.......... would I buy a bike from a company with a non-existent dealer network, a company whose own prospects for existing are marginal? Not unless I was Jay Leno, or at least had his bucks.

While it's good to see EBR be more realistic in pricing, what about all the former dealerships who still have unsold 2015 bikes in stock, for which they paid a lot more? They get royally screwed. I doubt many of them will be willing to take another chance on EBR. Probably time for Erik to hang it up. The gods of commerce are not on his side.
