Erik Buell Racing is a motorcycle sport company which produces street and racing motorcycles, based in East Troy, Wisconsin, USA. Erik Buell founded the company in November 2009 following the shutdown of his previous company, Buell Motorcycle Company, by parent company/majority stakeholder Harley Davidson. Erik Buell Racing's first efforts were directed toward production of complete, race-only motorcycles and parts based on the Buell 1125R production model, under license from Harley-Davidson, [1] to support privateer racers.

The first focus of Erik Buell Racing, the 1190RR is an upgraded and restyled version of the Buell 1125R. Used for professional racing in several race classes, the bike has been a part of several race and championship placings. [2]
In June 2011, Erik Buell Racing officially announced their first street model, the EBR 1190RS, a sport motorcycle with a 1,190 cc V-twin engine expected to deliver 175 hp (130 kW).[3] Released as a 2012 model, only 100 are to be made.[4]
Erik Buell has hinted at three more street models on the new Erik Buell Racing Website. Signified by only two letters each, they are the RX, SX, and AX. Judging from the history of Buell nomenclature, these are expected to be a race version, a standard version, and an adventure version, all similar to the 1190RS. [5]
