Buell Lightning XB12Scg 20092009 Buell Lightning XB12Scg specifications, pictures, reviews and rating |
| Buell's profilation of this bike |
| With a lower seat and lowered suspension, this bare-knuckled brawler takes the streetfighter mentality to a new low, while taking performance to new heights. With a low center of gravity and the raw, minimalist styling that separates the Lightning lineup from the pack – the Lightning XB12Scg puts you as close to the road as you’ll ever want to be. |
