Motorcycle specifications BuellXB-12 STT Lightning Super TT 2007 The weapon for the Moto Tour
presentation of the XB-12 STT Lightning Super TT 2007
buell's XB-12 continues to come in all shapes and sizes. The R, the S, the Scg, the SS, the X Ulysses, and now the XB-12 STT; for Super TT.
Translated into standard language, it's a mix of the Ulysses and the SS, making the XB-12 a little wiser than the standard version, with XB-12 X suspension travel. Erik Buell's aim is to give the agility and handling of a supermotard to a machine with a street-fighter attitude. A hybrid machine developed for maximum winding on a wide variety of roads.
For a bike that's expected to behave like a hard-core adventurer, the sobriety of the styling leaves one wondering. In fact, it's up to you to stick race numbers on the side plates and on the fork head (that of the Ulysses) to obtain a little beast of road rally competition. But the main aim is to personalize it.
To really give the STT a "multi-road" orientation, this new version of the XB-12 is fitted with Pirelli Scorpion mixed tires.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 3 reviews
Braking is very good, although the feel of the single front disc is special
The engine is a fine example of a torquey twin-cylinder, easy to use at low revs and playful from 3,000 rpm
A dream face (mine has an xb12s mudguard at the front and no longer has the rear plates, which makes it slimmer) and a devastating sound. The range from 3000 to 4500 rpm is a real treat for the ears.
The red zone at 6500 isn't a problem, given the (strange) gear calibration, but it doesn't like going into the red
I'm a young driver (almost 2 years on the road), even though I've almost always had a two-wheeler. I thought that after my "QuatrePattes" (CB 750 F2), which was my first big cube, and trials on a character bike like the Ducati 916 Monstro, the twin-cylinder wasn't going to be what I needed for continuous use (the only vehicle I have), and well, this Buell proved me wrong
Sure, the engine heats up, and heats up hard, and the frame is barely touchable with bare hands, but hey, this winter I'll be keeping my butt warm, that's all. (And the fan is constantly on, so that noise is a bit special)
The beauty doesn't like waiting at red lights, she doesn't like going under 50km/h, but honestly it's not a handicap
Another aspect: people used to say to me, "A Buell? But that's a bike for a selfish bachelor!"
Well, to those who think that, I'd say it's totally untrue
Tested with a young SDS rider used to Ducati bikes, she was delighted to find a comfortable saddle that immediately put her at ease. The only thing to watch out for is thick pants, as overheating causes the rear frame to heat up too, so watch out for your legs ^^
A 200km ride and no aches or pains the next day.
Apart from the heat and the special gear calibration, this bike really is a joy to ride
If you ever get the chance to try one out, it's well worth it
Buell bikes are out of this world! :)
