I have been wondering if anyone has hit the big number with a Ulysses yet? My '06 is only at 44,700. I plan for over 100,000 before it retires. Because of this crappy winter I haven't even done a thousand miles in the last three months. I have ridden in snowy, icy, sloppy conditions several times for work though. There has not even been one good warm weekend day where anyone has though of a ride for fun. Spring is coming!!!![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/thumbsup2.gif) |

I should've been just about there by now (50K first two years) but my riding has been severely curtailed by economics the last year and a half. 65K now and I'm stuck, I really need to address some mechanical issues but I can't dive gung ho into anything right now... and since it still actually moves under its own power I won't get the green light from SWMBO. That's OK I'll get there. |

I WOULD have been at about 80,000 miles now, but the deer strike at 55K took care of '06 Uly #1. Is it fair to add the mileage on two '06 Ulysses? --Doc |

Xbimmer whats up with the mechanicals. Running hot, oil leaks, rattling lifter(s), vibration, and a general interest to get in there and clean things up in the heads... |

I'm at about 58,000 miles at the moment which is 93,800 km in our metric world. I'm planning a 100,000 km birthday party if all goes to plan and then I might look at a freshen-up. I've slowed the mile build-up on the '06 'cause I was greedy and bought a new '09XT a few months back and use that for the week-end two-up work. The '06 is now only used for going to work duty and hopefully I can keep it on the road for a long time. At the risk of starting a squabble I think the '06 is the better of the two. ![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/argue.gif) |

Rolled past 75k miles last week. Still going.......... if I keep my job and everything else holds I should hit 100k in less than a year and a half from now. |

"At the risk of starting a squabble I think the '06 is the better of the two." I agree with Rays. With the possible exception of a 2010 model. I was just starting to think about trading in the '06 on a 2010 Uly when the fags pulled the plug. The worst part is the bike seems to have spoiled me for anything else. |

I don't think an X & XT are exactly a straight across comparison. The later X's (08+) have bigger forks, lock to lock sweep, taller, heavier rims, etc than an XT. Though the XT seems to still hold its own on dirt roads just fine. |
