MOTO GUZZI V11 Sport Rosso Mandello (2001-2002) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Rosso Mandello was one of many versions of the standard V11 machine, which debuted in 2001. It was the first motorcycle released after Aprilia bought Moto Guzzi and celebrated the brand's 80th anniversary.

The bike had a red and grey-finished frame, red fuel tank, seat cowl, rocker covers, grey seat sides, black engine, gearbox, rear bevel gear casings, and a carbon windscreen, mufflers, and front fender.

In 2001, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Rosso Mandello, a limited edition machine made for the collectors among Moto Guzzi's fans. Besides its new colors, the bike had the same specifications as the base model.

The bike had standard features, such as a round headlight integrated into a carbon fiber front cowl, a carbon fiber front fender, a single seat with a pillion seat cowl, a dual exhaust system with carbon fiber silencers, and black-finished three-spoke alloy wheels.

The bike was built around a steel frame with a 40 mm inverted Marzocchi fork on the front and a cantilever swingarm tied to a Sachs-Boge monoshock, offering optimum handling capabilities.

The Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Rosso Mandello's power came from a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered 91 hp with maximum strength at 7,800 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
