I sold the bike last week the new owners partner has a problem with the bike as a pillion.
Its back on e-bay


For sale Buell Ulysses
First reg end of July 2010(i belive this to be the last uk reg Uly)

I am the 2nd owner bought the bike back in Feb 2012 with only 1100 mile on the clock

Used as a second bike to my Harley (as with the 1st owner)

This bike has never been used in the winter

As you can see from the photos fitted with a S/Steel "Albert" exhaust with a removable by-pass pipe

3 box Buell luggage system (single key opperation)

Buell 3 way back rest

Serviced by Norwich Harley

If you are looking for a Ulysses you will struggle to find a newer bike with such a low milage

That has to be the first complaint I've ever heard about from a pillion on one of these bikes!

It looks like a fantastic bike and the indicators give it away as a genuine 2010 model so very rare.

Or is it a case of he bought a bike without the bosses permission and he will do as he is told and sell it again
So to make sure he isn't just making a quick few quid out of you what price did he pay you for it last week
bearing in mind it now has one more owner on the V5 so is actually worth less than what he paid

One thing that concerns me is why at such a low milage and if it genuinely has never seen winter weather why does that rear pulley look like one from a high milage bike that has seen salt?
I don't think I have ever seen a pulley looking as bad as that one.
Or has the bike been abused with a pressure washer which to me is often more of a problem than a year round bike being washed and cared for properly, if it has then all sorts of bearing /seals and electrical problems could be lurking around the corner.

I belive that the pully is a case of poor quality coating on an alloy surface, bike never used winter/salt conditions by me the previous owner stated the same when i bought the bike and i had no reason to disbelieve him.

The rest of the bike shows no signs of any related problems apart from the top front eng mount is of a similar poor coating finish on an alloy component, also showing signs of degrading.

The new owners wife is used to silky smooth whisper quiet BMW LT and RTs, the Buell is the polar opposite being loud grumpy and in your face and i loved it. she can't seem to apreciate the Buell. So they are looking for another RT.

Keep the bike trade in the missus .......Do these people have no common

Its called being pussy whipped

It's genuine I owned the bike from new .

and IIRC Cyril , I brought your old 08 plate Ully from Darren at oxford a couple of years ago with only 4.5 k on the clock still going strong and got 6.5 k on it now

Hello there Cyril

We loved this bike it was great for us but i foolishly took a test ride on an Explorer and decided i have to own one .

I regretted selling the bike as soon as it had gone, very nearly bought it back within 7 days of selling it, the guy i sold it to loved it but his partner could not get on with it,
Uly now has a new home with a site member who you might know

Glad to hear both bikes have been ok , think I had doubts about selling the XP myself , but bought a GS since .

Could this person begin with a P? If it Is this person I have in mind, what is he going to do with his old 12X? .............We can all vouch its had a thorough 10000 mile service and may be one to buy?

Yeah, it's me... But I still quite like the earlier 12X I have cos it goes like new... Bought with 266 miles on the clock, like new, to go on the UKBEG Ireland challenge, it has served me well. I don't think I will be getting rid of it anytime soon

I haven't riden the white one yet, maybe this weekend. Or maybe not until I get a lambda boss welded on some earlier headers I have lurking upstair and get them on... And of course the Free Spirits tensioner...

It has a few other things that need sorting out, a consumable that needs replacing, a seat that doesn't go back on with ease, a triple tail that doesn't engage as it should (using my other Uly as the benchmark here), some tyres that need replacing and of course the sprocket that needs attention.

Glad I got it though...

If I had the money and I hadn't spent as much as I have on mine lately I would have gone after it myself.
Paul from here actually phoned me when it first went on eBay telling me I should buy it.
The difference of £2k between my ully's probable worth and your new onewill get swallowed up with time on mine in the near future.
I think you made a good move there
