The American engineers from Buell have designed the 2007 MY XB9R Firebolt roadster to fit the taste of both naked fans and sport-bike fans, alike. It comes with innovative features such as a single seat, rear-mounted foot pegs, a large, 375mm, ZTL-type front brake with a 6-piston caliper, cast-aluminium wheels, a nose-fairing with a small windscreen, an under-belly exhaust system, a Showa adjustable upside-down fork coupled to an adjustable, low-mounted, Showa mono-shock rear suspension, an analogue and digital instrument cluster, dual headlights and a hollow frame and subframe, that double as fuel and oil tanks.

In addition, it boasts a maximum power output of 92 horsepower and 97 Nm of torque from its air-cooled, four-stroke, 984cc, 45-degree V-Twin powerplant paired to a five-speed manual transmission with a low-maintenance, Kevlar-reinforced, belt final drive.
