Author Message   Whodom Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2005 - 10:10 pm:        Just found this post at sport-tourer.net: There is an article and report with pics of the new Buell XB12X Ulysses in Cycle World or? Sorry, I got home without the mag or remembering which I saw it in. It is a bigger version of the XB city with a high front fender, longer travel suspension, longer wheel base, higher bars, lower pegs, back luggage rack,side and top bags are optional, one more gallon fuel capacity, optional heated grips,..... It still has the looks of the XB, but roomier. It does have a new swingarm, stronger rims, and a heavier flywheel to aid in slow speed riding. They had to make the frame larger to allow one more gallon of gas which affects the amount of steering lock. Great 1st report with a comparison with the GS and Multistrada. Overall liked, but the 2 concerns really reared their ugly head. Steering lock and the heavier flywheel. Check it out, prices are at 11,999.99 if I remember correctly.   Hammer71 Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2005 - 10:16 pm:        Pics in 2 days. hopefully demos to follow. any word on the other one?   Mfell2112 Posted on Friday, July 22, 2005 - 07:00 am:        "and a heavier flywheel to aid in slow speed riding." I thought the motor did a fine job in aiding in slow speed riding.:-) Regards Mike
