Positioned in Husqvarna's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Husqvarna SMR 510 pairs a 501 cc (30.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 59.8 HP (43.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 49 Nm (36.1 lb-ft) at 6,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 119.4 HP per liter and a 1,600 rpm working window between peak torque (6,400 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the SMR 510 measures 109.3 kg (241 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.55 HP/kg (1.83 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,497 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.
