MOTO GUZZI Daytona 1000 (1992-1999) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi Daytona 1000 was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Moto Guzzi from 1992 until 1999, when it was replaced by the Moto Guzzi MGS-01 Corsa. It was part of the same family as the Moto Guzzi V10 Centauro.

Although it was presented in 1989 at the Milan Motorcycle Show with a carburetor fuel supplier and as a race replica of a racing machine that competed in races for motorcycles derived from the series, the Daytona 1000 was released in 1992.

In 1992, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi Daytona, a sports motorcycle in its first year of production fitted with a fuel injection system, which was rare then.

In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a large front cowl with a single headlight unit, a windscreen, a single seat with lumbar support, an up-swept dual exhaust system, and three double-spoke alloy wheels.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a three-way adjustable Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and a WP mono cantilever shock on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the power figures, the 1992 Moto Guzzi Daytona 1000 had installed a 992cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering 94 hp with maximum strength at 7,800 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
