Does anyone have the white "tank" on their Uly? I see it offered as an option on the website. If black is the fastest then white is obviously___________?

It is interesting they only show white. You can buy any tank color and it will fit. I was thinking about the Uly "T" in racing red, and they buying the red clear color one for the tank. It would make for a cool contrast.

I reckon a completely White Uly would look really good.

Saw one today at the London bike show - a police Uly. All white with police decals (and a whole heap of touratech kit). Not sure that I could ever ride one. Generally I hate white bikes - either associate them with police/ambulance, or RT owners... : D

White is a non-color.

White is a non-color.

Actually, black is the absence of color, and look how many people like it.

"Does anyone have the white "tank" on their Uly? I see it offered as an option on the website."

where do you see it on their website? I've looked and don't see white as a color option for either the XB12X or the XB12XT. White is available on the XB12STT.

I do like the white better than the orange, blue or red. Black is still the best color for an American Motorcycle. leave all the goofy colors for the metric bikes!

It’s under accessories.
White with decals:http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/Produc t.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=2&CategoryID=5&Produ ctID=4124

White no decals: http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/Produc t.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=2&CategoryID=5&Produ ctID=4123

I don’t see anything about the fly screen though.
