2008 Buell Ulysses



We were all astonished when Buell let out the new 1125R sometime back. Buell has now worked on their traditional range as well, and the Ulysses in particular has recieved a lot of attention.

The XB12X Ulysses adventure sportbike has new off-set 47 mm inverted front forks and robust off-set triple clamps that reduce fork flex under hard braking. Steering sweep is increased from 54 to 74 degrees for improved low-speed off-road maneuverability, and the Ulysses now comes with standard heated hand grips.


The 1203cc engine remains the same, but has been tuned to meet the latest Euro III norms. The previous Ulysses was known to have throttle response glitches, which the company now seems to have sorted out. The lubrication system too sees a minute change plus changes have been made to let the engine rev 500rpm more.
