I want to ride those roads. Because they always seem to lead to the most intriguing, out-of-the-way places. Problem is, as a Harley® rider, I’m pretty limited in that regard. Oh, I’ve given it a go. There’s no rule (well, no law anyway) that says you can’t take an Electra Glide® down a dirt road. But you have to be so careful that it’s really not very fun. So when Buell introduced the Ulysses a couple years ago, it really caught my eye. It seemed like just what I needed to take my adventures to a new level, by getting off the beaten path here and there and deeper into the great unknown. And when I was offered the chance to borrow a Ulysses for a day trip, I jumped at the chance concept. But, call me a skeptic. to put Buell’s most versatile bike to the test. 47@AB7;>@3AA7=<A My first thought when I saw the motorcycle was ... hey, this thing’s dirty! Don’t these Buell people know that a clean motorcycle runs better!? To each his own, I suppose. Nonetheless, the first thing I did before the trip was give it a good going over with a damp cloth. I wanted it to look nice for the pictures, after all. The next thing I noticed was how high the seat is. Not a big deal for me (I’m 6'2"), but I wondered how soon I’d get tired of throwing my leg over that lofty cushion. It was very comfortable, however; nice and wide for my own ever-widening seat. With my full weight on the bike, I could just get my feet flat on the ground. Not bad. And it’s so light! Just leaning it left and right in a stationary position I could sense that this machine was built for cornering. On the road, the riding position at first seemed very upright – and I felt a long way off the ground. But I quickly came to appreciate the added sense of control this “active” position gave me. All in all, though, it felt very different from what I was used to, I was quickly starting to appreciate what this unique machine had to offer. Priority one on “Ulysses Day” was a quick side trip to a beautiful, rustic gravel road outside Milwaukee, to get my “dirt legs,” as it were. As I rode back and forth a few times on the two-mile stretch, I started to wonder: What exactly does it mean to be “dirt road compatible”? I mean, clearly one big thing is the suspension travel. TRASHED ROad test It absorbed the bumps very nicely. And after a few minutes I started aiming directly at small potholes. At first I thought my aim must be off, I must be just missing them – because I couldn’t really feel them. But then I realized that the bike was just soaking them up like water. So I aimed for some bigger ones. I felt those, but not to the point where it seemed like either I or the bike was any the worse for wear. But what about traction? I wondered how aggressively I could take dirt/gravel corners on this bike. I mean, without pushing the bike to the point where one of the tires starts to slide (something I was not keen on doing), how would I know when the bike reached its limits? I decided there was no need for me to figure this out right I received a copy of the Summer 2007 edition of I don’t know if you can help me or not, but my away, and perhaps I’d get a better feel for it as the trip progressed. So I took off to the southwest. ¬OTbS`OTSe[W\cbSa7abO`bSROW[W\URW`SQbZgOba[OZZ^]bV]ZSa PHOTOGRAPHY: MARK HINES, MICHAEL ALLEN ® Alas, while I found the riding in Southern Wisconsin to be generally spectacular, I had a surprisingly hard time finding any dirt roads. I had a good set of maps, but they didn’t seem to indicate which ones might be dirt. Fuell, and before I got a chance to read it, my wife husband is looking for a road test of a Firebolt According to the legend, dotted lines represent “Unimproved Road, Trail, or Old Railroad Grade” – which, it didn’t take long to figure out, were generally impassable or off-limits to motorized vehicles. recycled it. Is there any way I can get another copy? XB12R and can’t find one. I have never seen one in What hasn’t changed in 25 years is our mission: I bought my XB12R in March 2007, so that was my Fuell magazine. Can you suggest a source?

I really wanted to check it Laura Gall I enjoyed the article “Pavement Schmavement” to build the best-performing, easiest to ride, out and have a real copy of the magazine (not a PDF Paddock Lake, Wisconsin version) to hang onto. in the last edition of Fuell.

  • Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly
    Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly Winter 2002/03 All Business Jet Yamaha FJR1300 by Kevin Wynn and Sev Pearman by Kevin Wynn This is your pilot speaking. Please fasten your safety gear; we are clear for takeoff on runway 210 Left. In a few seconds we will reach our cruising speed of (well, never mind). You are flying today aboard the newest, most powerful supersport-touring machine available, the 2003 Yamaha FJR 1300. Enjoy your trip. I guarantee that when it's over, you'll want to turn around and do it all over again." And with that, I rolled out of the dealership's parking lot aboard one of the most talked about motorcycles of the past year. When the FJR 1300 was introduced in Europe in 2000, the clamor started. Motorcycle journalists invited for Euro test rides raved about the power and handling of Yamaha's first purpose-built sport touring machine since the GTS1000. When the details started to appear in U.S. magazines, the letters to editors started becoming strident. Why wasn't Yamaha bringing this machine to America? Internet lists started talking about a letter writing campaign. In February 2001 an online petition and discussion list was started by a Norfolk, Virginia minister named Carlton McCleod. Tired of Yamaha's reluctance to import the FJR, he spurred a letter, phone call and petition campaign that undoubtedly helped change the minds of the right people. The petition list alone had over 500 entries. Thanks Carlton. So for 2002, still seemingly timid about it, Yamaha decided to bring the FJR to the US as a 2003 model.
