2007 Husqvarna SM 450 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Husqvarna's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2007 Husqvarna SM 450 R pairs a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 97.0 x 60.8 mm (3.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 12.9:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the SM 450 R measures 119.2 kg (263 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 915 mm (36 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.2-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
