MOTO GUZZI Quota 1000 (1993-1994) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1993, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi Quota 1000, an enduro motorcycle in its second year of production. It wore the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model without any modifications.

The Moto Guzzi Quota 1000 was a dual-purpose motorcycle made by Moto Guzzi from 1992 as a successor to the Moto Guzzi NTX. It was manufactured until 2001 when it was replaced by the Moto Guzzi Stelvio. It was presented in 1992 with a 1,000cc engine.

The bike was noted for using the transverse V-twin engine and final shaft drive. Compared to other Guzzi models that used the same configuration, the Quota model's power delivery was slightly tuned to simplify its use on gravel roads.

It packed standard features like wire-spoke wheels, a center stand, an up-swept exhaust system, a luggage rack, a one-piece dual seat, a small windscreen, and a half-fairing with a dual round headlight system.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 42 mm Marzocchi adjustable telescopic fork with 220 mm of travel guiding the front wheel and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum handling capabilities.

As for the power figures, the 1993 Moto Guzzi Quota 1000 had its soul brought to life by a 949cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 69 hp at 6,600 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
