Buell Lightning Super TT XB12STT

Buell® Lightning® Super TT XB12STT
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.

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.
