2007 Hartford HD-200S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Hartford's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2007 Hartford HD-200S pairs a 197 cc (12 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.3 HP (10.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.8 Nm (10.9 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 72.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the HD-200S measures 130 kg (287 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.09 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
