Chassis
It came with a 120/70 ZR17 front tire and a 170/60 ZR17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a single disc in the rear.

1996
1996 Buell S1 Lightning
The 1996 MY Buell S1 Lightning has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1203cc, 45-degree V-Twin powerplant paired to a five-speed manual transmission that can reach a maximum power output of 101 horsepower and 129 Nm of torque.
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-aluminium wheels and a low-maintenance, Kevlar-reinforced belt final drive.
