Hi there all.

I have recently found myself to be the owner of a Buell Ulysses XB12X. It is 2008 model which was only registered in February 2010.
It was mid April and after a recent visit to a rather nice bank manager I was off to look for an uprade from my Yamaha XJR 1300SP. First port of call was Belfast Honda as it was the closest. After a quick look round I was on my way out the door when my very knowledgable wife said something along the lines of isn't that a nice colour.

I turned round and there sat an orange coloured adventure style bike. On closer inspection I note it is a Buell. My first thought is what is a Buell, who owns a Buell or who wants to own a Buell. I then get approached by a young sales guy who eventually convinces me to take it for a test ride, assuring me that I will want to buy it.
So off I head leaving instructions to have my XJR valued. Within 20 minutes I am convinced that I will own it before the day is over. So back to the showroom and the deal is done.

Not what I went looking for but I am one happy biker.

We have done a day trip to Scotland and are off to France for a week from 28th May.

Conlig,

I'm just over the carriageway in ards.
The bike is great. None of the problems listed on other threads. France trip cut short but four days of reasonable mileage and not a problem.
Now if I could just convince someone to clean it for me lOl
