2009 Buell Lightning CityX XB9SX
A Street bike for the middle-weight class, the CityX
was designed especially for the urban environment.
The torque and broad powerband of the Buell Thunderstorm
984 V-Twin engine lets the CityX pull briskly away
from traffic and accelerate past pesky cabs, while
an upright rider position, wide Supermoto-style handlebars
and intuitive handling help the CityX scat around
potholes and dodge through back alleys. A new saddle
shape for 2009 drops the seat height by 33mm to 764mm.
Hand deflectors, dual headlight grilles, and frame
pucks fend off minor cosmetic damage. Pirelli Scorpion
Sync tyres grip all road surfaces and add aggressive
style. Available with Cherry Bomb Translucent or Hero
Blue Translucent bodywork.
