2007 Indian Dakota 4 Highway Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Indian's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2007 Indian Dakota 4 Highway pairs a 1845 cc (112.6 cu in) air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 3,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 117 Nm (86.3 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 51.5 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Dakota 4 Highway measures 333 kg (734 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.29 HP/kg (3.51 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,740 mm (68.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 7.4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 243 km (151 miles) between fill-ups.
