Review
The 2010 Buell XB12XT Ulysses is a sport-touring machine built around a 1202.9cc V-twin engine, producing 103 horsepower and 113.9 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM. This powerplant provides a responsive and engaging riding experience, suitable for both long-distance touring and spirited backroad rides. A 5-speed gearbox helps harness the engine's power, delivering smooth and consistent performance. The Ulysses XT is designed for comfort and practicality, featuring a more refined touring setup compared to its adventure-focused sibling. It boasts a 43mm fully adjustable Showa inverted fork, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension to their preferences and road conditions. Braking is provided by a single front disc with a ZTL™ 6-piston caliper, ensuring strong and reliable stopping power. The 836mm seat height and 16.6-liter fuel tank provide a comfortable riding position and a decent range for extended journeys. The bike's weight is 211 kg. This model is targeted at riders seeking a comfortable and capable sport-touring motorcycle with a distinctive American character. The Buell XB12XT Ulysses appeals to those who value versatility, performance, and a unique riding experience. It's a bike that's equally at home on weekend getaways and daily commutes.
