| A direct descendent of the notorious 1996 Buell S1 Lightning, the XB12S is ready to unleash any rider's inner hooligan nature. The tyre-twisting torque of a Thunderstorm 1203 V-Twin is paired with the athletic reflexes of the Buell Intuitive Response Chassis™ (IRC), a combination of throttle response, handling and sexy naked styling that is simply irresistible. |

| The Lightning Super TT brings Supermoto-inspired styling and performance to the street. A narrow-and-flat solo seat makes it easy to shift and set up for the next turn. Wide, flat handlebars provide outstanding leverage, and centred foot peg placement puts the rider in a commanding position. The clipped, black cast-aluminium tail section shows off the 180mm rear tire. White number plate side panels and flyscreen add a competition look, are designed to be personalised and are easy to change. Fork slider protectors, handlebar deflectors, cosmetic frame protectors, a high front fender and headlight grille protect the Super TT from the abuse of the street. The 1365mm wheelbase gives the rider room to work but retains that trademark Buell agility, while 143mm of suspension travel keeps the Super TT well-planted on rough roads. |

| CG stands for 'centre of gravity', and the Lightning XB12Scg keeps it low with a reshaped seat and lowered front and rear suspension, reducing the seat height to 726mm. It's all accomplished with no compromise to handling or performance. |

| A Lightning for taller customers and the long haul, the XB12Ss rolls on a 1360mm wheelbase - providing a more relaxed riding position and more room for a passenger. The seat is taller and wider than that of the XB12S, and covers an expanded storage compartment. Larger frame spars give the Lightning Long a fuel-in-frame capacity of 16.7 litres and extended range. Responsive propulsion is provided by the Buell Thunderstorm™ 1203 V-Twin with Buell InterActive Exhaust. In spite of the longer wheel base the Lightning Long is very much an agile streetfighter with quick and responsive handling. |

| This urban assault specialist was designed to excel in the metro-madness of crazy cabbies, potholes and back-alley shortcuts. The middleweight Thunderstorm 984 V-Twin revs quicker and higher than the Thunderstorm™ 1203, but still delivers all the torque required to pull away from traffic. For 2008, the Thunderstorm 984 has the new eight-row oil cooler and all of the engine updates applied to the Thunderstorm 1203. Aggressive Pirelli® Scorpion Sync tyres offer good bite on all road surfaces, and a tall Skyline seat with a grippy cover enhances visibility and control. For added style and function, the CityX features wide, Supermoto-style handlebars with deflectors, dual headlight grilles, and frame pucks to fend off minor cosmetic damage. |
