I have been thinking what my next buell purchase should be. Well I finaly rode a friends Uly man what a ride but its to tall I have an xbss now I love it but next year it may be time as it will be it's 5th season and I got the bike a-d-d ya know.So I picked up a rag today American Rider whats in it the xb12xt my friend had mentioned this machine but I kind of didn't really entertain the thought. Well now I am seriously considering it as my next machine. I would appreciate any input from XT owners and also what you guys think. Thanks

If you have no intention of riding in the dirt (other than maintained fire roads), the XT is in my opinion far better than than the Uly. Stiffer suspension, triple rate fork springs for asphalt surfing. A little lower which is nice when you have a passenger on board.

If you plan on going in the rough stuff, the Uly is in my opinion far better than the XT.
Longer travel suspension for soaking up the bumps & ruts. More ground clearance.

Both bikes are as Froggy put it; 'freaking awesome'

Thanks I will test ride one asap I will mostly stay on tarmac ocassionally I will pop on a fire road not a ton of em left in NJ though but a few. I just like the idea more and more lately and after riding the Uly that seating position and comanding view of your imediate surroundings all around just SPOT ON. I hope the XT seats or sits as well but we will see
