Clearly those Brits must be severely misinformed. I've read plenty of 'expert' reviews that have told me just how poor handling my Ulysses really is.

I must just be as poor a rider as those Brits are.

I keep telling people the Ulysses is a sportbike for tall people, and they keep trying to convince me it's a dirt bike.

Bring on the Helicon powered super Uly! : )

My brother and I (he rides a KTM 990S) refer to our bikes as "upright sportbikes".

Based on my insurance, I think my insurance company classifies it as a sport bike too.

I know the tires that keep getting worn out classify my bike as a sport bike.

I like how they still word everything as a caveat.

Owners say...

We've heard...

Under no circumstance can a magazine give direct praise to the Uly.

I know the tires that keep getting worn out classify my bike as a sport bike.

If that were the case then a 97 Electra Glide Ultra would be considered a sport bike! Here's a shot of the front tire of my 76 year old buddy's Glide. He lives 40 miles from Suches, go figure!





The left side of the picture is the center of the tire. God love him!!
