The 2006 MY Buell XB12S Lightning is addressed for those riders who make zero compromises when it comes to performance, but also want a more comfortable, upright riding position. It boasts a maximum power output of 100 horsepower and 110 Nm of torque from its air-cooled, four-stroke, 1203cc, 45-degree pushrod V-Twin engine that is mated to a five-speed manual transmission with a low-maintenance, Kevlar-reinforced belt final drive.
In addition, it comes with a Buel InterActive under-belly exhaust system, an easy-shifting transmission, a light and hollow aluminium frame that doubles as a fuel tank, a hollow aluminium swingarm that doubles as an oil tank, a 43mm fully-adjustable Showa upside-down fork, a fully-adjustable Showa mono-shock in the rear, a Buell ZTL front brake system and flat, track-style handlebars.
