In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

I don't know. Big huge chrome monstrocity with the running boards and bags and the fairing. Beautiful shiny thing. Super smooth clutch pull, probably because the clutch lever weighs about 8 lbs. Great acceleration from 0 to about 16mph in first gear. After that not too impressive. Takes a couple seconds to shift a gear. Ground down the floorboards doing a U turn in the neighborhood. Tried a few more gentle curves, no go.
What I don't understand is it idled really nice? So why all the throttle blipping?
I prefer fast cornering to 0 - 16 mph acceleration.
Yeah, I'll pass.

They're not all as you describe you know? I know what you're talking about and I agree with ya.
Not for me neither which is why I don't own one.

A friend let me ride his, I don't know what it was but it had a lot of letters in the name. Cruisers aren't really my style but it was nice, smooth, accelerated effortlessly and without drama, and didn't really feel cumbersome to me for general street riding. Kind of neat, I wouldn't mind trying one for a day. Doubt I'd abandon my GS for one.

Well, mine isn't really Harley, but Harley derived...
I love my Uly - with all it's quirks!
Hydraulic, self-adjusting valves, belt drive... maintenance is real easy!
I do have a liking in the new 883 Irons. I think they got the proportions and styling right. i wouldn't mind one - even though I have been a Suzuki rider for lots of years.
There is something magic about the sound of a big twin purring long at cruising speed. And my Uly handles really well!

I like the Ulysses too. How many miles on it? I've been looking at them used, and a lot of sellers seem to be bragging about top end rebuilds at 15000 miles and stuff. Have you had it for the long haul?
As to 883 proportions, 2" of rear wheel travel is a style over function proportion that just seems absurd. That is just me though.

Had mine for going on 3 years.
Apart from O2 sensor breaking out on rear header, it was silly newbie mistakes from my aside.
It has almost 30 000km on the clock (bought it with 8 500km).
It is the 25th anniversary edition which includes the panniers.
It handles the corners really well, soaks up bumps, great in traffic for a large capacity bike, really competent off-road and is great for long distance touring.
I really love it. Regular maintenance and it wills serve you well!
The 883s look cool, whether they ride that way is another story all together.

An older customer where I use to work years ago had a mint XR750 he only rode in parades. He use to tell me about Evel Knievel and such. He brought it in once for something, beautiful bike!
Storz Performance makes cool stuff for Sportsters to make them look like XRs. They don't give it away, but its cool. I've seen a couple XR750s on the street.
