After just recently setting up shop at their new facility, Erik Buell Racing has made their first sale with a pair of 1190RR Euro-spec race bikes no less. The two 1190RR’s were bought by the Pegasus Race Team who will campaign the Buells in the 2010 European Sound of Thunder Series.
Now that Erik Buell Racing has moved into its new office space, the company has wasted no time in branding itself with a new logo. For the Buell loyal, this symbolism should look familar, as it plays heavily off the fairly fresh Buell Motorcycles logo.
In addition to its new logo, EBR has setup a Facebook fan page, and has begun working on a new website. Still no news on the 1190RR Euro-spec racer, but hopefully we’ll hear and see that soon.

UPDATE: EBR has officially unveiled the Erik Buell Racing 1190RR
As Erik Buell Racing begins to take shape (the company has now taken over the erikbuellracing.com domain), details about the company are starting to come forth. First up is the news that EBR will offer three race versions of the 1125 platform. The most interesting of these three bikes being the 1190RR, an 1190cc race machine made to take advantage of the latest racing rules for v-twins in the Superbike category at the world level.
, Erik and his team appear to be rising out of the shutdown of BMC like a phoenix out of the ashes of a fire.
Elaborating further on the official press release, Erik Buell describes his new venture and sets the date for his last day at Buell Motorcycles.
Harley-Davidson, Inc. has just announced that Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of the soon to be closed Buell Motorcycle Company, will leave the company to establish Erik Buell Racing, an independent motorcycle race shop that will specialize in making 1125R-based racing motorcycles and parts.
UPDATE: Erik has made a video that explains his move to Erik Buell Racing further, and rehashes the information already available in Harley-Davidson’s press release.
