This weekend. Just a little putting around under the watchful eye of the dealer (it wasn't a demo unit). Loved it. Made an offer but the dealer and I are a thousand apart. That's o.k.. I can wait. I'm having a ball with my 9R. I'm 5'10" w/ 32" inseam. I was on the balls of my feet when stopped. The height could be an issue when trying to back it up or doing a low speed u-turn on an off camber hill, but no real problems if you thnik about what you're doing. I was also able to try it with the Corbin seat on it. Really didn't care for the Corbin, but it might just need to be broken in. The comfort and excellent riding position of the bike with the stock seat was immediately apparent when I took off. Nice job Buell.

Mike,

I like mine. You get use to the height. Heck you have 3" advantage on the inseam on me and I do not think I would like the low seat now. Backing is a bit of a challenge, but U-turns now that I have practiced with the bike is no big deal. The Uly is the most comfortable and well rounded Buell ever.

Mike,

I rode one yesterday. I want it!!!! And you're my ray of hope! Since you switch bikes every 6 months, I'm guessing you'll have a used Uly for sale in July?

Six? Heck yer being generous. If I get a Ulysses, it would be my third buell in a year. Now, what happened to the BMW....it's in California now.
