Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who appreciate a torquey, characterful V-twin with sharp handling.
Purpose	A naked streetfighter built for aggressive cornering, spirited backroad blasts and city riding rather than long-distance cruising.
Rider Fit	Light dry weight and a mid-height seat make it manageable for most rider sizes, though the firm sporty ergonomics suit riders comfortable with a forward-leaning stance.
Character	Raw, mechanical and distinctive, with strong low-to-mid range torque and a unique single-sided front brake and mass-centralized chassis that reward confident riding.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, pillion-friendly touring, or any kind of off-road capability.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 843mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Buell XB12SS Lightning Long, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
