2008 Buell Ulysses XB12XT Motorcycle Review

[therealturbofanisme]

That guy should let someone else do the talking. I love buells so I watched the whole video but man ... awful.

[midatlanticcycle]

i love buells and am on my 3rd. one of the simplest, lowest maintenance bikes in the world. they are what i would call oil and heat sensitive, but with hydraulic valve adjusters, belt drive, one single drain plug for trans and primary, and one on the swingarm for motor oil, a real breeze to maintain. and tough as nails.

I've just bought the last one brought into UK...an ex demo for £5,550 - a bargain. I had an 07 one before. It's not a great bike but a really good one. When it's on song it's a beauty to ride. Power delivery is perfcet for commuting BUT vibration is a problem and it wouldn't suit anyone under 6 ft. Vaalue for money they are awesome....£4k will get you a mint one - nothing else comes close.

Classic quote here: "Taller windscreen...on the XT. Probably...I'm gonna guess 30 to 40 % taller". LOL

Something tells me this guy isn't a salesman, that's for sure.

[tfizzle18]

But what about doing the maintenance yourself. Is this bike good for doing your own maintenance?

[dbc1dc]

Very easy. Oil changes are the only thing. This is belt drive so need to oil any chains. Rear plug is a bit of a bear to get to, other than that, easy.

[mtblackwell]

@tfizzle18.. if you buy it new, and want to keep the 2 year factory warranty, it pretty much forces you to take the bike to a harley/buell dealer for scheduled maintenance intervals at 1k, 5k, 10k, 15k, and 25k miles. it usually runs around 150-250 bucks depending on the dealer. on the bright side, the pushrods and timing never need adjusted and the kevlar final belt is supposed to be practically indestructible. i have the bike and i love it.

[jhlarrimore]

@mtblackwell That's not true. Factory warranty will remain active if you can prove that you performed the maintenance (receipts for oil, filters, etc.). This is covered under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act of 1975. This is the case with my '09 1125CR, as is true for all the Buell models. The only time FUHD gets my bike is for a warranty repair/replacement.

T would stand for touring

[pikey1fish]

Informative although a little to much chat between the facts, but still help full

[steven9163]

A little less talking. A little more riding. Okay, talk, but freakin give me a little more ride footage!

[ManshedTV]

A little longer and he'll be sporting a mullet.

[suzukigs]

what a terrible commentator!?!

[scd242]

shit, i agree. he's awful

[0x1]

AAAAHHHHH I WANT THAT BIKE!!!!

[seanleach]

That flashback/dream sequence was terrible. You guys also need to buy a tripod, and work on your transitions/cuts.

Other than that, thanks for showing us a variety of footage

[chanter95]
