The Buell Ulysses XB12XT is a high-performance adventure sportbike that embodies the perfect blend of comfort, power, and versatility.
This bike boasts the signature Buell handling and torque that enthusiasts have come to love, making it an exhilarating ride on both short and long distances. With its specially-tuned shorter travel suspension and lower standard seat height, the XB12XT offers exceptional sport riding experience while still providing comfort for riders and passengers alike.
A commanding riding position behind wide athletic handlebars, combined with a tall front screen to buffer the wind, makes this bike an ideal choice for navigating both city streets and rural roads. Standard heated hand-grips provide warmth in colder climates, while two 10 amp/12-volt accessory power outlets and an integrated helmet lock add convenience to the riding experience.
The XB12XT’s generous storage capacity, featuring lockable side and top luggage cases and a hidden compartment under the textured seat, ensures that riders can take everything they need on their adventures. With its 4.4-gallon fuel-in-frame tank providing extended range, this bike is ready for anything life throws at it, making it the ultimate choice for thrill-seekers who refuse to compromise on performance or practicality.
