Brutus the Ulysses

#1 Unread post by CentralOzzy »

I took my mates Buell Ulysses out for a 100Kay blast the other day & was quite amazed at the power this engine has.

Image

For such an old style design, Harley & Buell have done a great job getting this much power out of that engine configuration.

Image

Even at Speed over the bumps the handling was smooth & confidence inspiring.

With the new Jardine Pipe now fitted it sounds like Ducati on steriods, Wicked!

Image

The seat is quite comfy & I wouldn't hesitate on going for long multi-day ride, no worries.
All in all the bike is heaps of fun to ride & reckon it's a real winner.

Thanks Captain Nartman!

I LIKE IT!!

:wink:

That first photo is excellent. 8)

I do wonder why they chose to mount the exhaust there. For a bike capable of off-road jaunts, I am surprised at the lack of clearance.

Yes, it's a hang over from the 'Street Fighter' Models.

Pipe in the middle & low for Centralized mass etc.

We'll see how it goes.
