Since I don't have my Buell yet, I decided to fill some empty time this afternoon by re-reading some reviews and this paragraph really stuck out from Motorcycle-USA's review of the XT...
Coasting into Temecula, California after a full day in the saddle we can't help but come to the conclusion that the new Ulysses XB12XT is a solid touring package. Provided Eric Buell and company keep making impressive rides such as this, it's difficult to see America's sole sportbike company not continuing to grow on its success.
(sigh)
There are lots of gems in there. Dang it!
