Motorcycle Road Tests Index for 2006 Buell Lightning Long XB12Ss

Gives motorcycle road tests that appeared in major motorcycle magazines or electronic magazines for the 2006 Buell Lightning Long XB12Ss motorcycle model.

Magazine Articles:

Rider -- September 2005, page 24 -- Little Big Buell: 2006 Buell Lightning Long XB12Ss

    "Buell has created the Lightning Long XB12Ss, essentially a longer, taller, wider version of the 1,203cc Lightning XB12S. Although still smaller and lighter than most bikes with half the displacement, the Ss is a Buell that a larger guy or gal can appreciate -- the Buell for the full-figured rider, if you will." -- Mark Tuttle, Jr., Editor

MCN -- February 2006, page 15 -- Bug-Eyed Streetfighters Face Off

    "Identical to the XB12X Ulysses engine, the Sportster-based 45°, OHV, T-twin uses Delphi EFI drawing air from a single 49mm throttle body to make 81.0 hp on the dyno -- a huge increase from the latest Sportster's 58 rear wheel hp. We're always impressed that the Buell motor works as well as it does, based on a design known more for style than performance." -- Dave Searle, Editor-in-Chief
