The 2009 Buell Ulysses XB12XT is a sport-touring motorcycle designed for comfortable long-distance riding. Powered by a 1202.9cc V-twin engine that produces 113.9 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM, this bike offers ample power for both highway cruising and spirited backroad adventures. The 5-speed gearbox is well-suited to the engine's characteristics, providing smooth and precise gear changes. The Ulysses XB12XT is designed for riders who prioritize comfort and practicality. Featuring a 43mm Showa inverted fork that's fully adjustable for compression damping, rebound damping, and spring preload, the suspension can be fine-tuned to suit various riding conditions. Braking is handled by a single front disc with a ZTL™ 6-piston caliper, offering strong and reliable stopping power. The 780mm seat height and 16.65-liter fuel tank provide a comfortable riding position and decent range for longer trips. This model is aimed at riders who want a versatile and comfortable sport-touring motorcycle with a distinctive American character. The Buell Ulysses XB12XT appeals to those who value performance, practicality, and a unique riding experience. It's a bike that's equally at home on weekend getaways and daily commutes.
