Buell Ulysses xb12x and Suzuki DR-Z400 explore dirt roads in Massachusetts

[@fredtracy3931]

I salute you for putting your Ulysses through its paces, I did the same thing to my 2014 Honda CB500X. cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@faraway3032]

I have a 06 ulysses. It is by far the funnest bike I have ever had. Not to mention one of the most reliable.

[@break-a-way7685]

My favorite bike ever, Buell Uly!! Bring back Buell!

[@1990-t1j]

My favourite, too. I have an '06.

[@Cbro-621]

I’m a Buell guy myself and I love doing the Quabbin reservoir run!!! Awesome video my dude!! I’m right in Sturbridge, so it’s an epic ride

[@toastopia1]

Buell definatly looks out of its element!

[@danielwhite4776]

Oh it was definitely in over it’s head 😬

[@thomasmartinez4253]

Rider mod 😂

[@paulfiore7083]

I bought my '09 XT with 08 miles on it. D&D muffler with EBR matched for muffler. 49 mpg! OK for dirt roads but 1st gear too tall for much else. Plenty of power for me

[@josephcottone9613]

I love my XB lighting and want to pick up an adventure bike. Just remembered the Ulysses!! This video confirms how bad I feared it would be on technical stuff. (I still want one)

[@bentley4l]

What do you mean technical stuff?

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

I was wondering how the auxiliary lights were mounted on the Buell.

[@ontwowheels6479]

This is badass! I want one of these now.

[@danielwhite4776]

Thanks man! Definitely not the ideal use for this bike, but it CAN do it if you want it to. They are a ton of fun. Like a 2 wheeled hot rod tractor!

[@S3Moto]

Awesome! Man, I miss my 06 Uly!

[@tommyescobia8381]

Nice! Looks fun! I honestly wouldn’t take mine out there in that type of riding situations. But it’s good to see that it can with your setup. I got mine set up for street only. And either your camera has a very good microphone or your fan is just extra loud? At least it works!!! Love my Buells. I started letting some go just recently. Just the ones that I have extras of. Kinda reluctant to let anymore of my S1’s go. Good stuff man!!!

[@stevencote7951]

The Uly can be a Handful, just needed a lower first gear and a 19'' front tire. Still have my Uly but bought a KLX fro the dirt rides.

[@MRmotrhead]

interesting combo! Obviously it works! I am going to try the Pirelli MT60RS on the front, and probably a TKC70 on the rear. Do you remember your first ride on your Ulysses? Mine feels like the steering head bearings are too tight, and maybe the brake is dragging a bit and slightly pulling to the right...no impact damage,, maybe it's just me...lol

[@ronwoudenberg2294]

are you sure the forks are not bent on that Uly...the front brake dragging wouldn't cause it to pull to one side like a car does. it shouldn't feel tight so you may need to check those steering head bearings.

[@danielwhite4776]

Mine does not feel like that. TKC 70 will probably be my next rear tire…

[@EdirBuell]

Muito bom , aqui no Brasil temos algumas Buell , mais são poucos que fazem isso , forte abraço.

[@MRmotrhead]

just made a deal on a Ulysses today. What tires are you running?

[@danielwhite4776]

+MRmotrhead congrats! I'm sure you will love it. I am running a shinko 244 up front and a car snow tire out back.

[@markstoybox2058]

Daniel White what car tire? Size?

[@81coollambo]

Daniel White I guess the back tire is a secret huh? Mothers recipe 🤫

[@danielwhite4776]

Sorry it was a general Altimax Arctic in 205/50/17 iirc. Has since been replaced with a TKC 80

[@toughguyonaharley42o69]

What exhaust is that?

[@openidqd]

All you still alive? Buell is the very interesting. My xb12xt is faster than me, but trying..

[@PapaBaush]

Is that an engine cooling fan whizzing on and off?

[@danielwhite4776]

Yes it is! Kind of annoying, but with the engine sandwiched in between the frame rails it needs it at lower speeds.

[@marekchaloupka5244]

Holly sh.t! :D

[@robertd6925]

Does it get hot with all the low speed riding?

[@Speedytrip]

You can hear the fan most of the ride ;)
