    The last of the Ulysses.

    The last of the XB Ulysses, one of the best machines for NZ conditions.

    This one's in excellent condition, tyres are pilot road 3, about half worn. The forks have been breathed upon by Robert Taylor at KSS with excellent results.

    The exhaust is an XB12R item and the bike comes with the original and Adrenalin R cans.

    The front guard is from an XB12R and it comes with the original. Handguards are Acerbis, again, it comes with the originals.

    A nautilus air horn helps keep surrounding traffic focused.

    Apart from that it's all as Mr Buell intended, including full luggage, and pretty much as new.

    Although never smitten by Eric Buell's creations, I must admit that is a plush bargain!

    We'll see, that's a tad under the TM reserve.

    I've always figured that if you're serious about selling stuff there's no point in presenting the second best deal available, eh?.

    Change. It's a great bike, but there's time enough to stop trying new stuff when you're dead.

    And then, there's a definite Jekyll and Hyde history going on here. And it's looking like the year of the Jekyll...

    Excellent, enjoy the ride mate. There's a couple of nice roads out west of you a bit that I really enjoyed on the Buell.
