    “Buell motorcycles let riders own the corners and have fun, whether it’s the corners on a back highway or corners of a city street,” said Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, Buell Motorcycle Company. “The Lightning Super TT XB12STT continues that concept by blending street and track performance with plenty of torque and power into a bigger, versatile Supermoto-inspired design.”

    I'm not sure what to make of the looks. Before opening it, I was honestly expecting something decent looking from him. Missed by a mile...

    , that thing is weak. to Buell's credit, they're not marketing it as a 'supermoto' per se, but 'inspired' by an SM bike. hmm, right, pie plates.. .

    Is it me or is 400 lbs dry weight and association with supermoto a bit like associating a fat chick and bikini?

    So it looks like it is lighter. That way, the push to the nearest repair shop wont seem so long.

    It's not mountain dew, it's an "energy drink"

    Looks as un-original as any other Buell.........

    And, that is NOT a supermotard !!! It's way too fat, as previously mentioned above.
