How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Originally built as a police pursuit variant of Buell's adventure-sport Ulysses, it's suited to mixed-speed patrol work, spirited road riding, and light touring rather than one specific discipline.
- Built for
- It has a raw, muscular American V-twin personality with agile handling that feels more like a tall sportbike than a typical adventure tourer.
- Not ideal for
- It's not ideal for riders seeking serious off-road capability, high-speed autobahn cruising, or plush long-distance passenger comfort.
