There is fuel in the tank?? NO kidding!   Etennuly Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 05:31 pm:        Well yeah, and their's found the older 43mm forks. It should have the new 47's, but hey who's counting? If they gotta run it at 7000 RPM to be happy it probably isn't in them to own a Buell.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 07:09 pm:        The XT doesn't have the 47mm forks. It also doesn't have the 08 Uly triple trees.   Court Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 07:21 pm:        >>>>The XT doesn't have the 47mm forks. It also doesn't have the 08 Uly triple trees. That is correct. 43mm is way plenty for the bike.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 07:25 pm:        That is correct. Yeah! There's a first for everything!   Etennuly Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 08:28 pm:        Oh my! I stand and or sit corrected! It has happened before, I just cannot remember when. Makes me want to reread the spec sheet. Hmmmmmmm wonder iffin' I missed anything that could make me want to own one!??   Towjam Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 09:04 pm:        Be sure and check out the accompanying video as well: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/buildasx.aspx?v=08_b uell_xb12xt.wmv   Ft_bstrd Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 09:30 pm:        I only know because I stopped by the dealer today and worked to help sell a new XT. At least I think he bought it. When they say "let's talk numbers", I think that's usually a good sign.   Msparks Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 09:30 pm:        video was lame. Get this bike in the twisties and hold on. Be hard pressed for anyone to keep up without doing 10/10's pace and being dangerous. I liked the article, but you can tell the writers aren't typical "sport-touring" riders.   Towjam Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 09:39 pm:        video was lame. Yeah - I'm not thinking that Mr. Madson got his job at MUSA based on his camera presence.   Jlnance Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 10:29 pm:        fuel in the tank I bet they wrote fuel in the frame, and some copy editor corrected it for them. ;)   Jaimec Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 06:44 am:        Another good write up this morning: http://motorcycledaily.com/25march08_2008_buell_ul ysses_xb12xt_p1.htm   Jaimec Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 12:41 pm:        And another: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/buell/2008- buell-ulysses-xb12xt-review-77130.html
