    Ok, I have not given up on AX yet, probably should though, but I must ask the question: Which motorcycle on the current market is most like a Uly? I have some thoughts and one in particular stands out, and it is a Japanese make that I have only sat on, but not ridden. Dealers now a days have issues with test riding brand new bikes?

    I will say that the two I'd be most interested at this point are the super tenere and the triumph tiger. The BMW does absolutely nothing for me and suzukis always feel horribly cheap to me so I avoid them.

    Air cooled. None
    V Strom is pretty interesting, wheelies like crazy.
    I'd say FJ-09 is winning some people over
    Definitely the BMW GS (kindof sole purpose of the uly to give Harley something near those)

    I'm shocked to see Ulysses prices so low. There is a sick 2009 in TN right now. I'm arranging finances but hoping someone who's never experienced Buells jumps on it before I have to buy it

    Don't know why I didn't think of this. KTM 1290 Super adventure. It's basically what the AX would be most like. Rotax motor, tons of twin power. There's your bike.
