2003 Buell Lightning XB9S, Minimalistic Cool... - Naked styling. Rowdy Performance. Short-track attitude. The original streetfighter is back in town. Buell presents the 2003 Lightning XB9S, a new motorcycle designed to resurrect the spirit of the groundbreaking Buell Lightning S1: Big torque, lean styling, and premium technology for uncompromised street performance. Imagine a dirt-tracker tuned to tame the street. The Buell Lightning XB9S offers outstanding agility, thanks to an ultra-short 52-inch wheelbase, 21-degree head angle and 52 percent front-wheel weight bias. The ergonomics are upright and comfortable, with wide, flat handlebars for better leverage in turns. The flyscreen is mounted close to the handlebars to resemble a numberplate. Simplicity and functionality is the name of the game.
