MOTO GUZZI Quota 1100ES (1998-1999) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi Quota was an enduro motorcycle made by Moto Guzzi from 1992 as a replacement model for the Moto Guzzi NTX. It was produced until 2001, when it was replaced by the Moto Guzzi Stelvio.

The first models manufactured from 1992 to 2007 were powered by a 949cc V-twin engine, while those produced from 1998 received a slight displacement increase from 949cc to 1,064cc along with other modifications, such as a lower seat, new front and rear ends, a unified headlight, Brembo brakes, and larger diameter fork stems.

In 1998, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi Quota 1100ES, a dual-purpose motorcycle that debuted in 1992. It differed slightly from the previous model, with the most notable features including the single headlight unit and larger engine.

The bike was built around a double-cradle twin-beam steel frame with a 42 mm Marzocchi fork on the front, providing 200 mm of travel, and an adjustable monoshock on the rear with 200 mm of travel.

Two 296 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 260 mm brake disc with a dual-piston caliper mounted on the rear wheel achieved the braking power.

As for the power figures, the 1998 Moto Guzzi Quota 1100ES had its soul brought to life by a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering 70 hp at 6,200 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 3,800 rpm.
