Not the best photo in the world, but it's all I have at work. Taken the day after I bought it:  |

Wait, one more I found. Taken in Oil Trough, AR toward the end of an excellent 1,000-mile trip.  |

I have Buell envy, I'm an inthecloset Buell lover.
But don't tell any one!
What a great bike!

Owning a Buell is funny. When you mention you're considering a Buell, riders will immediately reel back and tell you about their friend's friend who owned a Buell and how that bike was always falling apart. Never a Buell owner though but definitely know a lot about Buell's and their relibility/quality issues. Then, when you get a Buell, you've got people coming up to you asking you how you like it while admiring your bike. Everytime I ride my Buell up to a popular sportbike hangout, it always makes a great conversation maker. Someone will always be coming up and asking questions about the bike. Definite curiousity but I'll bet sometimes a closet-desire for the brand. Back when I had my Hayabusa, I had a lot of younger guys, riders and none riders alike, AND girls always coming up to me at gas stations or running up next to me at Intersections to tell me of their admiration of the bike. One of my friends called them "Hayabusa Groupies".  It didn't surprise me due to the bike's legendary reputation. Now, I have older guys coming up to me and asking me about my Buell. "Buell Groupies".  |

I guess this is the closest category that my bike fits into: Before I bought it I was really really close to getting the Ulyssys but with the wife riding with me all of the time she needed to be comfy too. The Ulyssys seat is good but her knees got sore on the ZRX on a long ride (200 miles and she wanted off) and the Ulyssys had the same passenger seating. Not complaining, the Superglide handles very good for a cruiser of it's size  |

My wife (bad hip and knee) and I tried the ZRX; We found the passenger accomodations are in no way similar to the Ulysses'. |

Curious. Did your wife actually sit on the Uly? My wife (bad hip and knee) and I tried the ZRX; We found the passenger accomodations are in no way similar to the Ulysses'. Yes. The seat was very comfy but the angle of her legs was not. On the Superglide she (and I) are in a definate sit up and beg position where the Ulyssys does have a rearward bias on the pegs and they are higher too. I Do love my superglide but I can see in the future adding a buell for kicks. |
