    EBR 1190 Typhoon

    mmmm tastey.



    Winning the European Sound of Thunder championship with an EBR 1190RR-B, Germany’s Pegasus Race Team has more experience with that bike than anyone else in the world. That experience led them to link up with Gruner Engineering to explore what something in the vein of a Firebolt or CR based on the 1190 could look and work like. Erik Buell assisted in the Typhon’s development, but this is not an EBR product.

    The EBR 1190RR that the Typhon is based on is Erik Buell Racing’s flagship superbike racer. Derived from the 1125R, this 1190cc v-twin puts out 185hp at the rear wheel and 93lb/ft of torque. It’s incredibly light too, weighing just 163kg/360lbs (dry). Watching Pegasus win the last Sound of Thunder race of the 2010 season at Oschersleben, their 1190RR would initially lose ground to bikes like the BMW S1000RR out of the last corner as it struggled to keep its front wheel on the ground, but the EBR had so much power that it would still be passing the BMWs before that straight’s braking zone. Perfect basis for a naked bike then.

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    I love it when a bunch of guys get together and build a motor, put some wheels on it, and then, as an after thought, a plank with a saddle.

    I'd ride it.
