Yeah. When I bought my tiger, I considered the Ulysses. If it had the helicon motor, I might have pulled the trigger. I liked the bikes but not those motors. I really wish I'd had the extra scratch (and room in the shed) when the 1125s were going for 4G.
On a similar note, Fisher American Motorcycles here in MD makes pretty cool bikes. Again, they are held up by the motor. A Korean knock of of the Suzuki 650 twin is not my ideal. They do some good stuff with it, but I wish they'd gone in another direction.
