2009 Buell Ulysses XB12X
With long-travel suspension, generous 171mm ground
clearance, and aggressive Pirelli Scorpion Sync tyres,
the Buell Ulysses XB12X can carry its rider over dirt,
gravel and other unpaved road surfaces. On smooth
pavement, the XB12X is a high-performance sport motorcycle,
ready to blitz through the twisties.
Wide Supermoto-style handlebars gives the rider extra
leverage and control behind wind deflectors and a
two-piece windscreen designed to limit buffeting.
The broad, torque-laden powerband of the 94-hp Buell
Thunderstorm 1203cc V-Twin engine gives the Ulysses
the ability to proceed at lower speeds over unpaved
roads with less gear shifting, and the power to bomb
down paved backroads.
Premium Showa front 165mm and rear 162mm suspension
is fully adjustable. Rear spring preload can be adjusted
by turning a dial located below the left side of the
seat. Features that help make the XB12X adventure-ready
include the ‘Triple Tail’™ system,
which folds through three positions to function as
a luggage rack with tie-down hooks over the rear seat
position, as a cushioned passenger backrest with grab
rails, or as a luggage rack extended over the rear
fender. An optional top case and side cases are also
available for the XB12X. A dual front fender system
provides debris protection for the rider and the bike.
The XB12X is offered with Barricade Orange, Thrust
Blue or Midnight Black bodywork.
