With 81 ft. lbs. / 110 Nm of torque and power of the 1203cc 45º engine, the Lightning Super TT is primed to rule both the urban jungle as well as any favourite stretch of twisty mountain road. The air/oil/fan-cooled V-Twin engine features DDFI II electronic fuel injection and the Buell Interactive Exhaust.
A lightweight aluminium frame contains the fuel, with the oil in the swingarm. The muffler is located below the engine and the Immediate Throttle Response System, with a light Goodyear Hibrex final belt drive with Flexten Plus technology.
A ZTL (Zero Torsional Load) front brake features a 375 mm disc gripped by a powerful six-piston caliper. The disc is mounted on the wheel perimeter at the base of the six-spoked wheels finished in Villain Black with Pirelli Scorpion Sync tyres.
The Lightning Super TT has a solo seat with a 798 mm height. The 1365 mm wheelbase offers superb agility wherever the road leads. Fully adjustable, 43 mm Showa inverted front forks and an adjustable Showa rear shock, adds even more versatility.
Inspired from competition look, his featuring racing-style number plates and flyscreen with a minimalist Satin Black tail section, riders can showcase their own inspiration by easily personalising the bodywork. The Arctic White Surlyn bodywork is combined with wide, flat handlebars with cross-brace, instrument panel and deflectors for a unique and aggressive street style. The upper front fender provides debris protection with a Supermoto look.

Bonnot (17-11-2006): Rien d'étonnant, un "Truc" confectionné avec une architecture moteur digne d'un ventilateur de frigo de la fin du 19ème. Moteur en V et le cylindre 2 refroidi avec l'air chaud du premier... au 21ème Super.Partantde cela tout devient possible, même et surtout cette "Chose"

I have no idea what these comments say, but I'm going to guess that you guys aren't impressed with the Buell.
Well, me neither. $10,000 for a bike with low HP?
These bikes get blown off the road by almost every other bike around here - some costing 1/2 the price.
