The Buell Lightning Super TT, which was introduced in 2007,
combines hard core Streetfighter attitude with the style of
Supermoto bikes.
Other models in the Buell Lightning family are the Lightning
XB12S, Lightning XB12Scg, Lightning Long XB12Ss and Lightning
CityX XB9SX. The Buell Lightning family is known for its combination
of functional rider ergonomics and sporty styling.
The Lightning Super TT provides a long, smooth 31.4-inch solo
seat height with Supermoto-style, while a passenger seat can
be added. 5.63-inches of suspension travel and a 54-inch wheelbase
let you take the Lightning Super TT wherever the road leads.
A fully adjustable 43mm Showa inverted fork and fully adjustable
Showa rear shock add even more versatility. While the Lightning
Super TT has a slick, competition-inspired look with racing-style
number plates, white Surlyn flyscreen and minimalist Satin Black
tail section, the bike begs riders to show their inspiration
for customization as these components can easily be personalized.
The white Surlyn flyscreen sits below a wide, flat handlebar
with cross brace, instrument panel and deflectors for aggressive
street riding. The upper front fender provides debris protection
with a Supermoto look. Primed with 84 ft. lbs. of torque and
broad powerband of the Buell Thunderstorm 1203 45-degree engine,
the Lightning Super TT is just the bike to attack city streets.
On the roads of the urban jungle or in the corners of a long
canyon run, the Lightning Super TT is powerful in every gear,
rpm and twist of the throttle. The air/oil/fan-cooled V-Twin
engine features DDFI II electronic fuel injection and the Buell
Interactive Exhaust is tuned for the ultimate in performance
and control.
The Buell Trilogy of Technology featuring frame rigidity, mass
centralization and low unsprung weight works to provide the
Lightning Super TT with superior handling, powerfully smooth
acceleration and legendary Buell torque.
A lightweight aluminum frame contains the fuel while the swingarm
holds oil. The muffler is located below the engine and the Immediate
Throttle Response System has a light Goodyear Hibrex final belt
drive with Flexten Plus technology to provide what feels like
a direct connection between the throttle and the rear wheel
for an exhilarating ride in all conditions.
A ZTL (Zero Torsional Load) front braking system, mounted on
the wheel perimeter 375mm rotor, is gripped by six-piston caliper
allowing for light, six-spoke Designer Black Super TT wheels.
Pirelli Scorpion Sync tires on the Lightning Super TT have an
aggressive tread pattern to provide better bite on even the
nastiest pavement. The Lightning Super TT features Barricade
Orange or Arctic White airbox cover molded in color schemes.
