Technical Overview
2014 Erik Buell Racing 1190SX Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2014 Erik Buell Racing 1190SX sport motorcycle, Erik Buell Racing relies on a 1189.8 cc (72.6 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 185 HP (135 kW) at 10,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 137.8 Nm (101.6 lb-ft) at 8,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 155.5 HP per liter and a 2,400 rpm working window between peak torque (8,200 rpm) and peak power (10,600 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the 1190SX measures 187.8 kg (414 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.99 HP/kg (1.02 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 826 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
