Unsub,
I just noticed you said you were looking at a Buell Ulysses. Most Buell dealers let you do test rides (unlike almost every Japanese dealer) if you've got a MC endorsement and sign a waiver.

Don't test ride the Buell unless you're ready to buy one! It's the most fun bike I've ever had, and it's practical too. Hydraulic lifters means no valve checks - ever! Belt drive means no chains to clean and replace, expensive shafts to break (cough...BMW...cough..), and no chain snatch. I've ridden over a thousand miles in a day on mine and it was pretty comfy. With the luggage, I've gone on week-long trips carrying everything I needed. It handles amazingly well too - that whole "Own the Corners" thing is more than just talk. I like my Ulysses so much that I sold my BMW RT sport-touring ride *and* my Honda VFR within a couple months of bringing my Ulysses home.
