At the heart of the 2008 Highland Allroad allround motorcycle, Highland pairs a 936 cc (57.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 85 HP (62 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 104 Nm (76.7 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (6,000 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 Allroad measures 164 kg (362 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.52 HP/kg (1.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph).
