Engineered by Highland for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2011 Highland 507cc Supermoto pairs a 507 cc (30.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing.
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 6.06-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
