2006 Buell Ulysses XB12X
Total Motorcycle is constantly on the look out for new 2006 and 2007 motorcycle model information, industry rumors and spy shots. As we hear, conduct interviews and find the latest information we will post it here for you to read, share and enjoy.
The originator of the factory streetfighter, the Lightning combines minimalist styling, premium components and a gut-wrenching powerband from our own V-Twin. Read to tear away from the Pack. Tough choices in Thrust Blue, Racing Red or Midnight Black. Available in Lightnin XB12Scg for a lower center of gravity
The Buell Lightning XB12S and Firebolt XB12R will return to the lineup for 2006 relatively unchanged. A 1203cc fuel-injected air/oil/fan-cooled Thunderstorm V-Twin provides the power once again. New to the XB12S and Firebolt XB12R are a 43mm fully adjustable inverted front fork and the addition of Buell's Thrust Blue color option.

The newly upgraded 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600 was also at the show. Lighter, better-handling, stronger, it delivers the best power-to-weight ratio in its class. With performance features straight from our factory racing department, the newest GSX-R600 features titanium valves, inverted forks, and radial-mount brakes and master cylinder. Add to that an aggressive new aerodynamic package, a powerful new digital fuel-injection system and a state-of-the-art engine management system with even more power than before. The GSXR600 continues the winning line of 600 sportbikes from Suzuki.
The Burgman was designed for touring long distances and has a luggage capacity to rival Honda's Gold Wing. Suzuki is targeting the "Gold Wing" market whose riders are getting older and have difficulty riding very large and very heavy touring bikes. Even though the Burgman is big (for a scooter) is it still good around town. With a cost effective price of both the Burgman 650 and 400 models it will allow both young and old to purchase them. A really neat feature is the "high/low" push button gearing that is great for people that want to ride a motorcycle but are intimidated of working a clutch.
