Lazareth Supercharged Buell XB12S
The stock XB12S puts out a little over 100 horsepower,
which makes for a lively enough streetbike given the Buells traditionally short
wheelbase and the grunty delivery of the Harley-Davidson motor. Lazareth has
fitted a supercharger from a Mini Cooper S to pump the beast up and take it into
lunatic territory.
The front wheel will likely spend a lot of its time at eye-level, which is just as well because its mounted on a single-sided fork assembly that people will want to gawk at. The rear wheel, likewise, gets a single-sided swingarm, so the left profile of the bike is very tidy indeed except for the huge belt drive for the supercharger. Were told that Lazareth has built this Buell with adjustable steering head angle and swingarm length so its possibly one of the most tunable chassis setups weve ever seen on a roadbike, opening up a wide range of handling characteristics.
