Engineered by Cleveland for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2016 Cleveland Hooligun 450R relies on a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 43.5 HP (31.8 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 42.5 Nm (31.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.9 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Hooligun 450R measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.76 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 960 mm (37.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
