Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to an intermediate-to-experienced rider who appreciates a torquey, characterful V-twin over outright top-end speed.
Purpose	Designed as a sport-touring adventure-styled machine that blends brisk acceleration, agile handling, and long-legged capability for mixed road riding.
Rider Fit	A reasonably light, compact chassis with a moderate seat height makes it accessible to riders of average build and inseam.
Character	Delivers a gutsy, torque-rich V-twin pulse with sharp, flickable handling thanks to its short wheelbase and mass-centralized design, giving it a distinctly muscular yet nimble personality.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking a smooth high-rpm sportbike feel, serious off-road capability, or plush two-up long-distance touring comfort.

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Buell Ulysses XB12XT, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
