The Buell® Sportbikes strike a unique balance of racetrack and real world performance. Their unique styling, aggressive ergonomics and premium components combine to deliver the ultimate, intuitive sport riding experience.
Whether you’re using it as a finely tuned track weapon or a daily commuter, the Buell® Firebolt® XB12R owes much of its handling prowess to the 52-inch wheelbase, 21-degree rake and 3.3-inches of trail. The aggressive geometry combined with the rigid chassis makes the Firebolt® XB12R nimble and precise. Up front, the Firebolt® XB12R features a fully adjustable Showa® inverted fork, while the rear is equipped with an adjustable Showa® cartridge. The result is a sportbike that seems almost telepathic, effortlessly responding to rider input.
Powered by a 1,203-cubic-centimeter Thunderstorm® air/oil/fan-cooled, fuel-injected 45-degree V-twin, this is the motorcycle for riders who demand a premium-styled sportfighter with the perfect balance of horsepower and torque.
