2008 Buell® Lightning® Long XB12Ss
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
The streetfighter is at the core of what Buell® is all about. Pure sport-muscle performance. Broad, seamless power delivery. And superior handling. Upon closer inspection, you'll find nothing but premium components and lightweight materials. The Lightning® models also feature neutral ergonomics with wide bars and naturally-positioned footpegs. They provide great leverage, enabling you to ride confidently and aggressively.
The Lightning® Long XB12Ss is all Buell and more. The longer swingarm stretches the bike to a 54-inch wheelbase. Rake and trail are adjusted too, giving the rider a more relaxed, comfortable feel from the bike.
All the performance and style of the original Lightning®, but with stretched chassis dimensions and ergonomics for a more relaxed riding position.
