2006 Buell Lightning XB12S
The Lightning XB12S takes the Buell Streetfighter to the edge. The
Thunderstorm 1203 cc V-Twin engine delivers a well-rounded portion of torque,
thanks to the Buell InterActive Exhaust, a valve in the dual-chamber muffler
controlled by the ECM that adjusts exhaust flow according to riding conditions to
optimise engine power. A coarse-texture seat and athletic riding position offer
outstanding control. A new, stiffer swingarm and smooth-shifting transmission up
the performance ante for 2006.
The Lightning XB12S is offered in Midnight Black, or with a new Valencia Orange
Translucid airbox cover and flyscreen with Midnight Black front fender and chin
spoiler, both with high-gloss Translucent Amber wheels.

Buell Lightning CityX XB9SX
The Lightning CityX XB9SX is an urban brawler, designed to rule the city streets
with muscle and attitude. Armed with handlebar deflectors and a headlight grille,
the Lightning CityX rider grips wide, supermotard-style handlebars while the
Skyline seat offers an elevated view of traffic ahead.
The Thunderstorm 984 cc V-Twin delivers quick-revving acceleration for the cutand-
thrust of urban traffic. Pirelli Scorpion Sync tyres have an aggressive tread
pattern for all-conditions performance. New high-impact composite frame pucks
protect the frame from minor cosmetic damage. The soft-rubber Buell X Guard
helps protect the airbox from tankbag scuffing. The see-through Translucid
airbox cover and flyscreen put mechanical details on display, while Villain Black
wheels and Midnight Black lower body panels and front fender hide the grime of
the city. Available for 2006 in Hero Blue Translucid and new Kick Ash Translucid.
