The Buell XB12Scg Lightning is a force to be reckoned with on the streets, boasting an uncompromised streetfighter performance that’s hard to match.
At its heart lies the potent Thunderstorm 1203 V-Twin engine, pumping out 103 peak horsepower and 84 ft-lbs of torque. This free-breathing beast is paired with a new, smoother-shifting transmission and Buell InterActive Exhaust, making it a true thrill-seeker’s delight.
But it’s not just about raw power – the Lightning also features a lower center of gravity thanks to altered front and rear suspension, as well as a reshaped seat. This translates to a reduced seat height of 28.6 inches, making it accessible to riders of all skill levels while still delivering a thrilling ride experience.
Whether you opt for the Midnight Black or Valencia Orange Translucid color scheme, one thing’s for sure: the Buell XB12Scg Lightning is an exhilarating machine that will leave you craving more with every twist and turn on the road.
