differences between lightnings?

[jakub7]

i am a owner of a blast (and love it) and i plan to upgrade to a xb12r but then a lightning long (whats with the long?) xb12ss caught my eye which got me thinking, what is the differences bewteen all the lightnings?? there is so many but they all look the same [confused]

[jakub7]

except for the lightning super tt xb12stt lol the differences with that are obvious

I have a 09 XB12Ss and this is what I know, but there is probably more. Frame is longer than a standard S, basicly a SST/Uly frame, giving 4.4 gal fuel capacity. Rear swing arm is longer giving it more trail. And last it has 23.1 deg of rake compared to 21 deg on the S. Not quite as nimble as the S or R, but more stable and extra room for 2-up riding.

Correct on the Ss, compared to an S model. Scg is lower seat and suspension than the S.

SS frame is the same length, just thh swingarm is longer. However, the frame is wider on the SS compared to the S.

[jakub7]

so the ss is longer and wider, the scg is lower, and the s is like the standard?

[jakub7]

what about the sx?

[RuiP]

sx frame is the s frame and swingarm
