The 2009 MY Buell XB9SX Lightning City X Black is addressed for those riders who want a blacked-out and aggressive street-fighter. It comes with features such as a redesigned LED tail-light, new, clear-lens front and rear turn signals, a blacked-out engine, frame, forks and almost all other components, cosmetic frame protectors, a supermoto-style crossbar handlebar with deflectors, a minimal front fly-screen, a sculpted Streetfighter seat, twin quartz halogen headlamps with a black grille and an under-belly exhaust system.
In the engine department, it has the same, Harley Davidson-based one as the base model, a four-stroke, air-cooled, 984cc, pushrod V-Twin powerplant mated to a five-speed manual transmission that can reach a maximum power output of 92 horsepower and 94 Nm of torque.
