what is the next bike to go with for me .I was thinking harley i really enjoyed the buell and was warming to the harley but now i am sure i will make all my life with out one .I am thinking a bmw gs or ducati street fighter i like the idea of the gs and have always wanted one kinda of how i got the buell.I will keep my buell seeing how i am sure not worth much now on trade in plus i do like much it seem it is very close to the bmw in some ways .there is a lot of ducati in portland and they sound so nice with little exhaust work .I like to set upright like the ulysses it really a tuff call i like both bike and wish to own both but not enough money for that..has any had or been around the duc or bmw i want to do my own work on it .

Keep your Uly.

The Uly will cost you far less in maintenance than a BMW or Duc would if you dont do your own work. Besides the buy in price of those bikes is too high.

Keep you Uly, ride the hell out of it and you wont regret it!

I like my Uly a lot, but I think I liked the Lightning Long I had as much, if not more. The closest match I know of is the Ducati Monster. It is similar to the Lightning in a lot of ways. I had a Monster 900 and it was rock solid reliable. Maintenance was not that bad. It is a simple enough bike that you can do most things yourself. With no more Buells I will probably take a close look at the Ducati when it is time to get the next bike

My next bike will be the 2011 Uly. I will buy it after they re-open the factory. Got to keep the dream alive.

Sure hope it doesn't become the "Fulysses" from Fuji Heavy Industries!

"Sure hope it doesn't become the "Fulysses" from Fuji Heavy Industries!"

That's a good one. On the positive side, Fuji owns Subaru so the new "Fulysses" might be 2 wheel drive.

I have to say, I keep looking at the Ducati Multistrada, but it won't happen until the Uly gets old and gray. Still want to test ride one.
