The '''Buell S1 Lightning''' was a v2, [[four-stroke]] naked bike [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Buell]] between 1997 and 1998. It could reach a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 78.92 ft/lbs (107.0 Nm) @ 5400 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 84.22 HP (62.8 KW) @ 6000 RPM. 
 
 
The S1 Lightning was a more fundamental [[sportbike]] than the [[Buell S3|S3 Thunderbolt]] and [[Buell M2|M2 Cyclone]] that it was marketed alongside.  Variants of this version of the Lightning include the S1W White Lightning (1998) and the [[Buell X1|X1 Lightning]], with new "Thunderstorm" heads and cams (1999–2002).
 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] v2, four-stroke. 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed [[transmission]]. The [[final drive]] was via belt. 
 
==Chassis==
Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The bike weighed just 425.49 pounds (193.0 Kg).

This naked machine shares it's chassis with the Thunderbolt, but has been redesigned to be as light and maneuverable as possible. It comes standard with features such as a 40mm telescopic front fork coupled to a rear adjustable mono-shock, front and rear disc brakes, an under-belly exhaust system, for a lower center of gravity, a small, dual seat, a small windscreen, cast-aluminum wheels and a low-maintenance, Kevlar-reinforced belt final drive.
