carefull. the ulysses does look intriguing, but as a friend of a buell owner 2 times over, they are not reliable. and i like the styling. it is original. but they're still not as good as the jap competition and you'll never know when you're going to have a problem w/ it. there's no way this thing beats out a VStrom, GS, or KTM.

Love the looks of it. Those Italians they can make anything look sexy...Thank God they also love motorcycles...

Buells are great bikes ... with lots of personality. I have a xb12s, it's agile, has great torque, I love the handling but the mirrors are useless, it is very hard to drive at 25 mph and reliability is questionable. I also eats a new rear tire every 1500 miles or so but I love it.

Not a practical bike.

As a Buell owner two times over, I can say that my experience has been nothing like your friend's. I've been very happy with my latest, an '04 XB12R. I can't wait to throw a leg over a Ulysses demo!

Have they all been stock Dunlops? The Pirellis from the City-X are supposedly much better.

Yeah, it's not a Suzuki like the old Laverda twin wasn't a Honda.
