Technical Overview
2012 Erik Buell Racing 1190RS Carbon Edition Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Erik Buell Racing's sport motorcycle platform, the 2012 Erik Buell Racing 1190RS Carbon Edition utilizes a 1190 cc (72.6 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 175 HP (127.7 kW) at 9,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 131.5 Nm (97 lb-ft) at 9,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 147.1 HP per liter and a 350 rpm working window between peak torque (9,400 rpm) and peak power (9,750 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the 1190RS Carbon Edition measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1 HP/kg (1 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
