2008 Lightning® Long XB12Ss Overview

A Lightning for the long haul, the XB12Ss rolls on a 54-inch wheelbase that provides a more relaxed riding position and more room for a passenger. The seat is taller and wider than that of the XB12S, and covers an expanded storage compartment. Larger frame side panels give the Lightning Long a fuel-in-frame capacity of 4.4 gallons and extended range. Responsive propulsion is provided by the Buell Thunderstorm 1203 V-Twin with Buell InterActive Exhaust. The handling remains quick and responsive.
