At the heart of the 2014 Husqvarna SMR511 super motard motorcycle, Husqvarna features a 478 cc (29.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.0 x 59.6 mm (4.0 x 2.3 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the SMR511 measures 118 kg (260 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 1,460 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
