I'd love to have a Uly as an adventure tourer though. take a trip to Barrow AK and back! (that's the northern most town you can drive/ride to)

The SS and X and XT are the same frame and swingarm. Same fuel quantity.

You appear to be a right tall fellow. You'd be surprised how agile the Uly is. It handles the same as the SS. It's just got longer legs.


If you are looking at an SS and you are thinking about doing any long distance travel, I would strongly suggest the X or the XT.
