Buell's Ulysses

[Lou Girardin]

Not in the next 18 months. By then I should be able to get a run out or overstock XB12X at a very pleasant price.

Considering how rare used Buells are, that pleasant price may be close to new.

Definitely, but a grand here, and a grand there can make all the difference, if you know what I mean (shhhh, SWMBO might catch me).

Good God Jim, I've been drooling over the Ulysses for weeks! Hopefully once I do a tour or two with the navy, I can save enough for one. Warren is keen for one too. The hum is likely to be a cooling fan, some in other threads have commented about the noise. Talking to the dealer, the belts can last over 100,000 k's (no adjustment required at all) Servicings are cheap. It looks awesome in the flesh, but the only downside I can see it that yanks have been chewing through tyres at a rate of 3000 miles/tyre. Happy birthday you old coot. Cheers, Rob Powell

the rear on mine looks like lasting a bit over 5,000km - Thats what i normally get from a back tyre on my other bikes too.

Motohaus have some avon supermotard alternatives to the std dunlops too. might try them next.
