Fourth Place: Buell Ulysses (73.3%)
The Ulysses is a conundrum wrapped in a riddle, at least for some of our testers, whose ratings varied the most among this group. On one hand, its seat and riding position were scored highly, and yet its diminutive fairing would seem more appropriate on a streetfighter than a style of bike with "touring" in its name. And although the Buell's powertrain is better than ever, it was still a step below our favorites.

On the other side of the ledger, the Ulysses was praised for its sure-footed yet nimble handling, and its off-road ability was judged to be behind only the Beemer and KTM. Passengers fit best on the Uly, and we all appreciated its (optional) well-designed saddlebags and tail trunk. It's also worth noting that it was outscored only by bikes that are pricier.
