I owned an 07 Ulysses and put about 7000 miles on it. Very comfortable bike, lot of people love them. The shaking at idle and American v-twin power band is just part of the package. I had to hang my leg out into the breeze occassionally but other than that the heat wasn't bad. From stop light to stop light and around town it's a blast. It starts to run out of steam over about 90 or so. My biggest complaint was the slow speed manners. The engine is kind of coggy at low rpms making parking lot manuevering a chore. Handling is the Buells strong point but I could never really get mine dialed in. Seemed to be more quick than stable in the runs. Not as confident as the neutral steering Tiger.
