The original Lightning XB12S takes the Buell Street fighter to the edge. The
Thunderstorm 1203 V-Twin engine delivers a well-rounded portion of torque,
thanks to the Buell InterActive Exhaust, a valve in the dual-chamber muffler
controlled by the ECM that adjusts exhaust flow according to riding
conditions to optimize engine power. A coarse-texture seat and athletic
riding position offer outstanding control. A new, stiffer swingarm and
smooth-shifting transmission up the performance ante for 2006. The Lightning
XB12S is offered in Midnight Black, or with a new Valencia Orange Translucid
airbox cover and flyscreen with Midnight Black front fender and chin
spoiler, both with high-gloss Translucent Amber wheels.
