Over the Labor Day weekend I was out riding and ran into the best looking motorcycle I've ever seen! I visited Ukes in Kenosha and went upstairs in his museum and there I saw it, a brand new unlicensed 2010 Buell Ulysses! All blacked out and it made me want one! I'm still sad that they aren't made anymore. Still the best motorcycle ever made for all around riding! I took a picture but I can't upload it on BadWeb for some reason or I would share this thing of beauty! |

I too have seen it. It is nice! I'd give anything for it. |

I love that Uke's museum thing. I was there last in 2007. |

Most picture load fails are because the picture is too big. The limit is around 600x400. |

I think the limit is bigger now, I go for 1024 wide. That looks good without killing everyone on tablets / pda's / old laptops. |

This is a weird thread with no pictures! Should we add some of good looking bikes? Buells in particular perhaps? |

Looks good to me! I'll get mine out today to take a current pic. It has been a while since it has been in front of a camera lens. I mean what the heck, I did wash it Thursday! |

Here's the pretty view of the 2010 Uly at Uke's - taken around Christmas 2014.
It's the best pic I could get of it with the layout of bikes at the time, 1313 |

Different turn signals. Yep! 2010 turn signals:
Incandescent turn signals, which have the same design as the EBR turn signals, incidentally. Personally I liked the LED turn signals - once all the warranty issues were resolved... 1313 |

I have to agree - I think my 2010 XT is one of the best looking motorcycles I have owned!!

Dwixb12xt that looks like my old bike except mine had a D&D exhaust. Made it sound deadly. |

I couldn't get the pics down under 1920x1920 pixels to get them on here, but I took some more last weekend and posted them on the Bad Weather Bikers' Facebook page. |

I looked for almost a year for a 2010 XB12X and I was told only about 300 made it out the door. I managed to find a 2009 for a great price but I wish I had the few improvements that were made on the 2010. The 3 bearing rear wheel is probably my biggest want and I'm not sure if it had the 8 piston from caliper? Of coarse all of this I can upgrade at a cost and I'm afraid when I get around to it, the parts won't be available. |

Just because of rarity I am reluctant to sell but I am getting older and would like to go down to one motorcycle. I got this for a reasonable price with only a few thousand miles on it and I have put very few miles on it myself. I only rode it once in the last couple years. It would be nice if someone who would ride it owned it. |

What other bike do you have that you would rather ride, I wonder... I'm across the pond, Europe, so the thought that you guys can actually get your hands on low mile '08 / '09 (or '10 even!) Buells like that for next to nothing does cause some envy on my part . (Message edited by falloutnl on December 08, 2016) |

Rfp52, How many miles on that 2010? Sure looks well preserved. |

The Buell only has 4700 miles It is an X but I lowered the suspension 1" with a Hyperpro spring in back and raising the tubes in front. Then I also shortened the side stand. Right now my other bike is a BMW R1200RT. I am thinking of selling the Buell and Trading the RT on a new R1200GSA or looking a the new K1600B. The RT has 70K miles. |

Keep the BMW R1200 for when the Buell has a bad day. Other than that, ride the hell out of that Buell, don't sell it. But what do I know? I'm a huge Buell fanatic. |

The Buell is great but for me a 4.4 gallon tank is too small. No ABS, and no cruise control make riding the hell out of it a limited experience. |

And why journey cases I thouht the later ones were junior Junior cases were only (from the factory) on the XP. Both bag styles could be ordered as accessories, however... 1313 |
