Lee:

The Ulysses is a 54" wheelbase and fairly high off the ground giving me real 
leg room on it.  Further, my wife of 5'10" rides behind me and says she is 
very comfortable (it has an integrated back rest).  This bike is a torque 
monster, gets 47mpg and it's suspension soaks up potholes so well that I 
will be shipping this machine to Panama.(There is a dealer in Panama City). 
If you are in to bikes take a looks at the Ulysses, it will surprise you in 
many positive ways.
