The new Buell Ulysses XB12XT is in its element in the tight and twisty roads, with the well-balanced machine an adept corner carver.I'm just about ready to purchase this XB12XT, but now you have me wondering about the low rpm vibrations and the heat from the right side of the motor. I am not by any means a Harley fan, but I can't get over the way the XB is put together. I love the way they built it and it's much lighter than the FJR1300 which means better handling and quicker response. I also like the idea of using a belt instead of a shaft as it's much less weight and is promised to be long lasting and without maintenance. What I would really like is a XB13TYa which is the exact bike frame with a 4-cylindar FJR1300 Yamaha engine installed. Can you do that Mr. Buell? The tale of brave Ulysses has been passed down for thousands of years. Now riders can make their own epic journeys on the purpose-built on-road tourer - the Ulysses XB12XT from Buell.The trick to riding the Buell is keeping the Thunderstorm V-Twin revving between 3500 to 7000 rpm where it is the most responsive and potent.The Buell XB12XT utilizes a belt drive and also flouts convention with its single ZTL front rotor brake.While it doesn't offer up as much info as you would find on most touring machines, the Buell XB12XT does have a 12V plug for aftermarket goodies like a GPS systemThe Ulysses XT's comfortable riding position is complemented by decent wind protection via the four-inch taller windscreen.
