2009 Lightning® CityX XB9SX Overview

A Streetfighter for the middle-weight class, the CityX was designed especially for the urban environment. The quick-revving nature and broad powerband of the Buell Thunderstorm 984 V-Twin engine lets the CityX pull briskly away from traffic and acceleration past pesky cabs, while an upright rider position, wide Supermoto-style handlebars and intuitive handling help the CityX scat around potholes and dodge through back alleys. A new saddle shape for 2009 drops the seat height by 1.3 inches to 30.1 inches. Hand deflectors, dual headlight grilles, and frame pucks fend off minor cosmetic damage. Pirelli Scorpion Sync tires grip all road surfaces and add aggressive style. Available with Cherry Bomb Translucid or Hero Blue Translucid bodywork.
