I like it alot.
The problem with the 1135 was that the nose stuck out too far, and the lobster claws.
The XB was light years ahead, stylingwise.

I love my XB, love the way it looks. The 1125 I'm not wild about, but it was still a unique bike. This thing, whatever it was, looks too much like every other bike on the road.

And too wide.....looks like someone sat on the headlights, squashing them.

The Lightnings = best-looking Buells. Classic-looking dual lights and flyscreen.

Lightnings were and are bad ass looking bikes. I shoulda bought one of them over my Firebolt.

I agree as well marko. If I could do it again, I'd have a lightning ss sitting out back.

Love the lightning look.
