I just have to start this, first please only positive things you like about your Uly. I rode 250 + miles yesterday with Fiery, our ride started in pouring rain, wind and ended dry, warm. First THANKS to Erik and all who designed/built the Ulysses. Every ride on the Uly brings out the complete package it is. I enjoy it. And when you do a 200+ day ride you notice "things". I rode interstate, 2-lane, county, and gravel roads yesterday. The bike just does it all good. On curvey roads you just hang off and it corners, grab some throttle and off you go! I was a little cautious on the gravel initially, but having extensive dirt bike riding experience, I felt comfortable and caught myself well above the limit on gravel. Even standing on the pegs at speed is good. Rider protection- like I started in the rain, for a non-faired bike, the protection is as good as some "full-faired" bikes I've owned. Enough said, I really like this bike, Thanks Buell. Again lets keep this thread "positive" OK? More later..... |

Everything you say about your XB12X is also true about my XB12R. I'm very happy with the product as a whole, and am considering a Uly purchase based on the merits of the bike I already own. |

Coolice Posted on Tuesday, July 04, 2006 I just have to start this, first please only positive things you like about your Uly. The bike plain works (for me), is air cooled, easy to maintain, and you don't see 10 of them everywhere you go... |

Some great things about the ULY ... 1. I can comfortably strap a shotgun and a rifle onto my Uly and head out to the hills for some hunting (Don't freak out left wing weenies! )
2. The Large saddle bags will hold lots of ammo and a few handguns! 3. I can hold my own against the dirt bikes on the back roads 4. It out-corners and out-accelerates my friends Ducati on the paved roads 5. It is American 6. It is black 7. It is unique 8. I never have to wash it because it still looks good when it is dirty! |
