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

The Moto Guzzi V11 was a roadster machine produced by Moto Guzzi from 1999 to 2006. Over its production period, the V11 was produced in numerous versions, like the Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Scura made in 2001.

In 2001, the Italian motorcycle maker launched the Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Scura, another base model version with a small windscreen. It was manufactured until 2003, when it was replaced by the Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Scura R.

In the aesthetic department, the Scura version was similar to other V11 models, packing standard fittings, such as a round headlight integrated into a cowl with a small windscreen, a single seat, a dual exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.

Braking-wise, the motorcycle packed two 320 mm brake discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 282 mm brake disc coupled to a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

The riding was softened by a 40 mm Marzocchi inverted fork on the front, providing 120 mm wheel travel, and a cantilever swingarm tied to an adjustable monoshock, delivering 128 mm of travel on the rear end.

As for the power figures, the 2001 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Scura had installed a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system feeding the pistons. It delivered 91 hp at 7,800 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
