Description: Buell's unique S1 Lightning is the archetypal naked muscle bike - an American-made hot rod on which less is more. The Lightning has a rawness to it that maximizes the feel of motorcycling's basics; a powerful engine, great handling and the wind in your face. The Lightning doesn't pass on everything though - Buell's Uniplanar engine vibration isolation system limits engine movement to improve rider control and comfort. A single front brake is used to save weight but its six piston caliper grabbing a full-floating 13.4 inch slotted disc is more than capable of hauling the S1's 425lbs to a stop.
