With a 1375mm wheelbase, the Lightning Long XB12Ss
offers an expanded cockpit for the rider, a larger
passenger position and 16.7 litre fuel-in-frame capacity
for extended range. For 2009, the ride gets enhanced
as suspension travel front and rear is extended to
143mm. A new, sculpted Streetfighter saddle maintains
seat height at 776mm and covers a handy storage compartment.
The new Buell ZTL2 eight-piston front caliper enhances
braking performance. A fuel-injected Buell Thunderstorm
1203 V-Twin engine with
Buell InterActive Exhaust pounds out the power. The
Lightning Long is available with Midnight Black, Cherry
Bomb Translucent or Hero Blue Translucent bodywork.
