Built around Highland's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2011 Highland 450cc Supermoto features a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 899 mm (35.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,455 mm (57.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
