MOTO GUZZI V11 Sport (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2000, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Moto Guzzi V11 Sport, the most potent sports motorcycle made by Moto Guzzi at the time, packing the renowned V-twin engine coupled to a six-speed transmission.

The 2000 model was in its second year of production, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model without any significant modifications whatsoever.

When it first appeared on the market, the bike was available in green, black, or gray color schemes and a red frame. In addition, the bike's engine block, gearbox housings, and rear bevel gear were painted gray aluminum.

In the aesthetic department, the bike had standard features, such as a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a dual exhaust system, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.

The 2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport had its soul brought to life by a 1,064cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, boasting 91 hp with maximum strength at 7,800 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 40 mm adjustable Marzocchi inverted fork with 120 mm of travel on the front and a cantilever swingarm with an adjustable Sachs monoshock with 128 mm of travel on the rear.

The braking performance was handled by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers mounted on the front wheel and a 282 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper mounted on the rear wheel.
