The wife and I went for a ride yesterday on the 06 Uly. Not a long ride, but a nice 150 mile ride for lunch together. I usually dislike 2 up rides as the bikes feel low on power, the handling is messed up, etc. It largely just kills the fun for me.
This Ulysses, though...it still felt great! I should have adjusted the preload prior to the ride (I didn't), but the bike still railed! Riding smoothly and surfing the torque curve means it never felt low on power. It just pulls and goes wherever you aim it!
These bikes are so enjoyable. The suspension and handling is just amazing. From the factory these bikes feel similar to my Japanese bikes wearing Penskes and fork work. The Uly is imminently comfortable to ride, the seat and riding position is great, the sound is awesome.
I just love these bikes! They always put such a smile on my face! They are such satisfying, unique beasts. It's a shame they were removed from the market.
