Did the demo ride at Sturgis. It is taller but doesn't matter much you just need to use one foot. The gearing is a taller ratio compared to my XB9S which made the low speed throttle very responsive. The leg room was vast compared to the Lightning and I kept forgetting that there was so much seat to change positions. I don't think I will be trading my Lightning in on a Uly but there sure were a lot of Harley guys taking the ride and standing around after the ride talking with their hands. Buell could be selling second bikes to the HD crowd. 2 thumbs up! DBird | ||

Blackbelt...Too funny. At Sturgis, that sounds like a great way to lose a tooth or two. LOL | ||

>>>>Buell could be selling second bikes to the HD crowd. Sold two to dealers the first day at Sturgis. I got a call from Sturgis with a complete report last night. The Ulysses is a hit! | ||

Just got back! Passed on the Ulysses, would have had to wait too long anyway. Rode the Lightning Long, which is fantastic. Want one bad! I did notice a lot of BMW GS's there, and in fact, when I rode the Long, the guy on the Ulysses was a GS rider! This bodes very well for Buell. | ||

The guy on the ride behind me was an old Harley guy that was looking at a GS but considering a XBX. Told him about the new belt and the testing I read about here on Badweb, he was impressed. It is just stange seeing the big old Harley guys getting excited about the Uly. Blackbelt, I think I saw your father in law. Did he have the straight pipes and a black T shirt? I am sure it was him!

It's pretty intimidating to me. A tall seat is no problem...a tall seat height and 450 pounds is. I'm on a tip toe with my other leg swung over the seat! If the wind blows too hard I'd fall over  | ||

No way marine! Improvise. Grow longer legs? | ||

Actually those boots would fit in at Sturgis! Plenty of freaks here. |
