Oh yes the XB12X Ulysses is the ONLY Buell in the Rider Power top 100 bikes. In at number 42. That's up 68 places from 2009. Oh and by way of reference the BMW R1150GS comes in at number 44 and the KTM 990 Adventure in at 61.
Maybe the Uly is not so bad after all !!

Yeah it's run by ride magazine.
Can also be accessed through the interweb. Interesting results. Fairly detailed.
Not a bad magazine either.

Bit dim here also There is a link to the survey to complete it but not to the results. Suppose that way we have to buy the magazine.

How rubbish is that?

I bet the Firebolt is near the top (and that you missed it)...

Me thinks not and this is listed as Britains biggest bike survey. Buell also came 10th in the best brand with 76.72%.

A few years back, UKBEGers filled in the survey en-masse.
Can't remember the positions, but the tuber range were placed high in the survey :D

Cheated? No... How many people on UKBEG actually voted on this one? I wasn't even aware of it...

What won?

Previously cheated is what I said not this time.
The winner was the BMW K1300S. 4 other BMW's also listed in the top 10. Not surprising really.
