prides itself on the ‘Trilogy of Technology’ ethos instilled by head man Erik Buell, following the theories of mass centralisation, chassis rigidity and low unsprung weight, all applied rigorously to the new Ulysses. Light, six-spoke cast aluminium wheels

-round machines became full of cutting-edge race reps almost overnight.Okay, sporty bikes sound great in theory. Massive power outputs, rapid steering and ultra strong brakes sound like a recipe for shenanigans aplenty. And on a race track that's generally
