Unlike its previous embodiments, the 2007 MY Buell XB12R Firebolt also offers read and black finishes to the parts that were previously colored amber, such as the windscreen, the wheels and the graphic scheme. Also, it comes with a hollow aluminium frame that doubles as a fuel tank as well, a hollow aluminium swingarm that doubles as an oil tank, a large, 375mm, ZTL-type front disc brake with a 6-piston caliper, a Buell InterActive under-belly exhaust system, a 43mm fully-adjustable Showa upside-down fork coupled to a full-adjustable Showa rear shock absorber and die-cast aluminium wheels.

In the engine department it sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1203cc, 45-degree V-Twin powerhouse mated to a five-speed manual transmission with a Kevlar-reinforced belt final drive and can produce a claimed 103 horsepower and 114 Nm of torque.
