no way! i have 3 BMW's already in the garage (R75/6, R1100S and F650) but did not fancy a GS...

the Uly is more fun in my opinion...

I've got a few bits from my old Uly if anyone is interested, brand new, latest spec. '09 drive belt, professionally custom painted set of plastics, zero gravity touring screen, genuine workshop manual for an '06 Uly.............

And here is a pic of probably the best bike I ever owned in 40 years of motorcycling!

So do you only need one front disc as they only need one due to engine braking or just slow???? so dont need full brakes ???????
Whats fuel tank size and whatll it do to a tank ??
Nay good off road with exaust that low 4 sure,but its noy a true competion to a gs1200, but maybe good for the grunt ay

Huge front disc= plenty of braking.

180mile tank range, 17 litre tank, 50mpg approx.

The standard exhaust works the same as a bashplate and you jack the bike up using the exhaust aswell.

It's not the same as a GS and the Uly used to cost just over £8k new which is a lot cheaper than any 1200GS but now they are now a collectors item.

Plenty ride the Uly 'offroad' but it's better on rough surfaced or gravel roads. What it does do is handle pretty well and the 100bhp Harley engine has loads of grunt and character but it's not to everyones taste as it does vibrate a fair bit at tickover.

The extras on the bike such as very hot heated grips and a very good set of Hepco Becker panniers and topbox do make the bike a good tourer. The pillion comfort on the tall seat is very good aswell!

I like my Uly because its a bit different and only 6000 were ever made so there aren't that many about.

It's a bit of a Marmite bike really and I quite like Marmite.....!

Well said!!! Apart from one thing........... Who the hell rides an Uly at tickover!!!

I am seriously thinking of buying another Uly as I type this, there are bargains to be had at HD dealers all over the country!!!

 

[Lars1974]

you better be quick as they most dealers down here are selling out fast!
once they are gone - there will be no more!

my Uly is a definate keeper! (mind you so is the R75/6 and R1100S etc...)
