Lowered suspension and a reshaped saddle drops the
seat height of the XB12Scg to just 726mm – for
a lower centre of gravity and a shorter reach to the
ground – with no compromise to handling or performance.
The powerful Buell ZTL2 eight-piston front brake caliper
is new for 2009. Blacked-out engine, frame, swingarm,
fork and other components give the XB12Scg a menacing
new look. The muscular Buell Thunderstorm 1203 V-Twin
backs it up with pavement-pounding power. Available
with Midnight Black, Cherry Bomb Translucent or Hero
Blue Translucent bodywork.
