2009 Lifan Huntaway 200 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Lifan's trial motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Lifan Huntaway 200 relies on a 197 cc (12 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.1 HP (11.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.5 Nm (10.7 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 Huntaway 200 measures 118 kg (260 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.33 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
