The new bike is designed to accomodate larger riders and give a slightly less frantic riding style.Buell Motorcycle Company adds the Lightning Long XB12Ss, a streetfighter with expanded rider and passenger positions and revised chassis geometry, to its line of 2006 Lightning motorcycles.All three 2006 Lightning models have a lighter, stiffer swingarm design, a new,smoother-shifting transmission, and other technical updates for 2006.In addition to the new Lightning Long XB12Ss, the 2006 Lightning line-up includes the Lightning CityX XB9SX and the Lightning XB12S. Each combines an athletic riding position, bold naked styling and the stirring performance of an American V-Twin engine.Inspired by the minimalist profile of a flat-track racer, the Lightning models feature wide handlebars, dual headlights mounted below a short flyscreen, and a clipped, screened-aluminium tail section over a beefy 180mm rear tyre.Buell Lightning XB12Ss Technical upgradesA new transmission features a dog ring design for even quicker shifts with less effort. Helical-designed gears reduce transmission noise, and the oil-change interval is extended to 16090 km from 8045 km. Clutch lever effort has also been reduced, by 15 percent on the XB9SX and by 22 percent on the XB12S.A durable new Goodyear Hibrex final drive belt with Flexten Plus technology requires no scheduled service.A redesigned swingarm (all models except XB12Ss) is stiffer and 0.25 kg lighter than the previous design.
