MOTO GUZZI V11 Sport Scura (2001-2003) Specs, Performance & Photos

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

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

In the visual department, the Scura was similar to other V11 models, packing standard features, 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.

The bike's ride 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.

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

In the performance department, 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.
