Hazardous Waste

The point is ( I don't watch AMA ,its a Joke) going to WSB was a big stretch for such a small company, and racing here alone would have saved precious $. Thats all, a little reading between the lines boys and girls.
Calling it...Motus is next.
Saving a few dollars on racing fuel and tires was never going to make a difference for EBR, they were always going to need a big financing package to make the necessary ramp up as a legitimate manufacturer.
From what I've read it looks like the expected financing package withdrew. Was that Hero? Hard to say.
You have no clue as what it takes to go Racing

A few tires and a can of gas will definitely not cut it.
I am quite aware of this because the rules would not allow them to be in SuperSport.WSB, EBR was racing in the liter class not 600cc.
I was quite aware of this, too. The whole DMG EBR b.s. just annoyed the heck out of me. Ducati's compensation in MotoGP annoys the heck out of me, also. I strongly dislike compensation in competitive racing. So there.Clutch. I'm talking about the EBR1190 in AMA Superbike, not the 1125r.
Bada - bing.Apparently EBR didn't either.
You mean like, "put up or we pull the plug." Or, "the plug is pulled 'cause like you ain't putting up".The more I look at this the more I think Hero just threw a chin high fastball over the inside of the plate.
I feel like there's an important yardstick to stand by here, and that's that Confederate is still in business. Poor EBR.

How is Confederate even comparable?

One's a company that makes bikes with unique engineering and flair, and the other one is a company that makes bikes with unique engineering and flair and is bankrupt.
If I recall the RW 750 was a square 4 two stroke licensed/bought from Barton in England? Agree about his timing. Maybe now another manufacturer will use 1 large rotor, but with an aesthetically pleasing caliper. Maybe selll bikes for 20% less instead of racing WSBK ? Seemed like good press in US mags, but us consumers are a strange breed. Liked my test ride but not a hooligan type, scared of heightshis first bike(race) the RW 750 came out just in time to become obsolete when the ama discontinued F1-he seems always to be running a day late and a dollar short.
The point of being a motorcycle manufacturer isn't to flame out every couple of years, it's to build something long term. If you wanna build crazy engineered customs, start a custom shop - at least then you do something that aligns with realistic expectations for employment, and customer support.
He may never sell his name or anything else.Erik did not want to sell, I think it's "we're pulling the plug to force you to sell"
