I went to Mid-Ohio for the AMA Vintage M C Days to test ride 07 Uly they had only two Buells there a 900 lighting & Uly. The Uly was to many hrs. to wait. It don't seam like sell them them to badly. I was there 1 hr. early so if you want to test a Uly get there 2 hrs. early

Got to see and sit on an '07 Uly today, at the Rock Store.

I like the '07 low seat. I can touch the ground with both feet, with more than tip toes.

I have a hunch this part will be on eternal back order...

I was there and got a ride on the Uly... I loved it. It was my first test ride of one. And with the wife on the back.. she loved it also. I am offically in the market for one right now.

So far it has been the ONLY adventure bike to put a smile on my face while riding it. The BWM 1200GS couldn't do it. The Suzuki DL1000 couldn't either. The Duc Multistrada...well..let's just say that I would rather ride than maintain.

The new seat..well..I couldn't tell the difference from the 06 I sat on. But it handled great (after I jacked the back up to full hard with passenger - I'm 215 and the wife's 125). The motor was great... plenty of power..too bad I was used to my 6 speed.

But I will have one... whether it's now..or in the spring. I must have one.

Question on the 2007 Ulysses:

In lowering the height, is it all the seat or has the frame been tweeked a little lower?

Thanks

Thanks Dennis_c.

That sounds about right since it seems to be backward compatible to the 06s. I thought I saw some comment about a change of some kind under the seat area but I may have misunderstood the comment.
