Lightning XB12S

 

The Buell Lightning continues the innovative tradition of Buell Motorcycles.(Reference the first installment of American Sport Bike - Firebolt XB12R)   

The Lightning XB12S is a high performance, American made, naked sport bike.  A naked sport bike is a road racing bike without the aerodynamic fairing.  Lighter and less expensive than its dressed  competitors, the Lightning has also proven itself as a durable daily rider.  

A durable American bike... 

The crew at Germany's Motorrad magazine chronicled their 32,000 mile test of the Buell Lightning XB12S in their November 24, 2006 issue. Although they did refer to the Lightning as, "finicky like Primadonnas," they go on to say that the bike was still in prime condition after 32,000 miles. Motorrad's detailed evaluation noted every maintenance issue, every broken part, and even disassembled the engine to measure and examine wear. They were impressed that the Buell's American V-twin (a modified Harley Davidson engine) held up to their abuse as well as any refined high performance engine. Buell was listening during the test period too. Buell Motorcycle company continued to improve the Lightning, addressing any concerns the arose during the test and improving their design. Motorrad even noted the the engine was still producing about 100 horsepower after 32,000 miles of abuse.

If you want a dependable American made motorcycle and you don't want to ride a hog, checkout the Buell Lightning XB12S.
