With the voltage regulator taking a dump on me.... I have been riding the TT a lot more. Well, I got back on the Uly and used it this weekend to go to my MSF class. The front end feels very "stiff" compared to the TT and it just doesn't have the toss me into the corner feel that the TT has. I'm thinking I may need a new head bearing. The Uly has just over 51,000 miles on it. | ||

Had the TT existed when I bought the Uly, I would never have bought the Uly. | ||

Its a ton of fun... I put MSR ATV High Bars on it... I just want to flog it! I'm thinking about getting the Hepco Luggage racks for it and I would be good to go | ||

So Ft_bstrd, how are you liking your M2? How would you compare it to your Uly? | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Similar riding position. Feels more like a TT or SS. Suspension is less "spongey" and feels more stable in turns. I'll need to raise the pegs s little bit for cornering clearance, but I think I can drag a knee on it. | ||

I have some 40MM ammo cans I'm gonna try and hang on it.... I need to get it ready for the WVBR4 | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
We got some Cortech luggage that'll fit right nicely on it if you prefer. | ||

My wife just decided to quit getting her nails done to save $$$.... I would be in the dog house..... how much with shipping to 43228 | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Shipping's free. Google Badweb for "Cortech Luggage" for pricing. | ||

I'm thinking I'm liking the TT more than the Uly It is because you are fat isn't it?   | ||
| Nittanyxt |
That's just wrong! | ||

They're not nearly as similar as I thought they would be. To me the TT definitely handles better but for a trip I'll take the uly any day. | ||

I agree - the TT is much more "tossable" than the Uly. If all I did was around town techincal trail-type stuff...it'd be a TT all the way. The Uly, though, is much better suited for longer trips IMO. The seat, the peg difference, and of course the luggage. The TT is Buell's VRSCR - a totally awesome, home-run motorcycle...that got completely missed by Marketing and never really got the attention it deserved. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
So what is I took all the Uly parts and put them on the TT.... MINUS the suspension... Then I would have a Uly LOW that handles freak'n awesome | ||

I would be interested in Getting a pair of the "Number Plates" off of a TT. Have an Idea i want to try. Any Interest from the Lupine One, Or any Other TT Owners Out there? Thanks, b. | ||

Okay, I'll bite. What is a TT?  | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
Whats a TT??? Let Danger Dave tell ya... | ||
| Buellerxt |
Very cool. Thanks Wolf. A Uly made for rider only, with a few adaptations? That video reminded me to ask, why do these bikes have such high turning radius's? That's 'not' a cool feature in my book. (Message edited by buellerxt on July 27, 2010) | ||

You would need to ride my SS suspension equipped "Uly" then. | ||

I looked for the subframe parts for a while but by the time I bought all the parts Id need I was better off buying another bike. I haven't had the uly long but I've been riding it much more than the TT. It's just way more comfortable even on my 25 mile ride to work. | ||
| Hughlysses |
You guys that are saying the Uly is way more comfortable than the TT, is that mainly based on the difference in seats/pegs, or on the Uly's softer, longer travel suspension? | ||
| Yjsrule |
I have a touring seat on my TT so the seat isn't really more comfortable, unless you have a pillion, then it's way better. The more upright ergos with the lower pegs, plus a little more wind protection is what makes it better. The suspension on the uly is definitely valved softer, riding two up it feels too soft in the curves to me. Id like to put a stiffer shock spring on it, forks are fine. There's only an inch more suspension so on the road it's rarely used, but off road it feels a little better with the plusher valving. | ||

Or get an XT. | ||

BTW- if anyone's still in the market for one, the bike locator at buell.com still shows two 2007 TT's in stock at former Badweb sponsor Tilley HD/Buell in Statesville, NC. Oh yea, we're down to only 177 new Buells left nation wide, although that number probably is high based on what some have posted here regarding the accuracy of the locator numbers. | ||

the TT was a great motorcycle that Harley-Davidson totally screwed-up with their marketing program. I was at homecoming several years back when Erik was talking about the TT telling how well it performed and comparing it to other sport motorcycles and then he just shook his head while saying that Harley's took the bike to market with the paint graffiti theme. You could see that he was pissed about that concept and I can't blame him either because I loved the TT! Buell TT marketing strategy, another Harley-Davidson epic "FAIL"!!! | ||

There's also a new '07 TT at Toledo HD. Saw it there on my way to HC, while getting a new rear tire on the ol' (over)loaded Uly. |
