When I bought my Concours, I was actually looking for an adventure style bike, and had settled on the Buell Ulysses. Well, the other day I was going through some classifieds online, and found one for sale just about 45 minutes from where I'm staying. Well, i emailed the seller, and was figuring ways I could get it and move the Concours to make room for the Buell. But as fate would have it, I ended up going on a long ride through the foothills of the Rockies, covering about 1000kms in two days. When I sat down and thought it all out in my room here, I noticed that the wind and element protection were far superior on the Concours. The comfort because of that would be far superior to the naked Buell. And to top it all off, when I rode on some gravel roads and uneven surfaces, I quickly became aware that there really is no comfort factor for me to be on anything but asphalt/concrete! So, the Concours stays, and I'm happy....however... if a Ulysses XB12XT were to become available close by...... in a moment of weakness.....
