2010 Buell Lightning CityX XB9SX is an urban streetfighter designed to handle whatever the big city throws your way. The quick-revving Buell® Thunderstorm® 984cc V-Twin engine offers broad power to pull through traffic, while an upright rider position, wide Supermoto-style handlebars and intuitive handling help the CityX scat around potholes and dodge through back alleys.
Buell Lightning models and the new 1125CR™ are at the core of what Buell is all about - pure performance with a broad, seamless power delivery in a stripped down, raw and aggressive package.
Each Buell model is designed utilizing the Buell Trilogy of Technology™ - chassis rigidity, centralized mass, and low unsprung weight - to produce a motorcycle which responds instantly to rider input.
