Appetite for acceleration? Then sink your teeth into this.

The Lightning® X1's 101hp, 1203cc Thunderstorm™ engine combines street smarts with a Dynamic Digital Fuel Injection system that provides optimum performance based on temperature, throttle opening and engine speed. Adjustable, race-bred suspension results in an aggressive ride, while a narrow profile and mass centralized muffler allow for intuitive lean. A cast-aluminum tailsection, rowdy chain fairing, and optional polished aluminum wheels contribute to styling that's about as subtle as a bench press in a ballet studio. And for those restricted to a diet of eating dust, the X1 is capable of leaving poseurs at the lights.

Enjoy your meal.
