Naked styling. Rowdy Performance. Short-track attitude. The original streetfighter is back in town. Buell® presents the 2003 Lightning® XB9S, a new motorcycle designed to resurrect the spirit of the groundbreaking Buell® Lightning® S1: Big torque, lean styling, and premium technology for uncompromised street performance.
Imagine a dirt-tracker tuned to tame the street. The Buell® Lightning® XB9S offers outstanding agility, thanks to an ultra-short 52-inch wheelbase, 21-degree head angle and 52 percent front-wheel weight bias. The ergonomics are upright and comfortable, with wide, flat handlebars for better leverage in turns. The flyscreen is mounted close to the handlebars to resemble a numberplate.
Simplicity and functionality is the name of the game.
