MOTO GUZZI V11 Cafe Sport (2003-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi V11 was a roadster motorcycle manufactured by Moto Guzzi from 1999 to 2006. The bike was first presented at the 1997 Milan Motor Show and released two years later in 1999 due to the company's poor financial situation.

In 2003, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V11 Cafe Sport, which replaced the Scura model and was manufactured until 2005. The bike packed the same windscreen as the Ballabio version and featured Ohlins suspensions, a titanium exhaust system, and ergal footrests and levers.

The bike's appearance was similar to other V11 versions, packing standard features, such as a round headlight integrated into a small cowl, a small windscreen, a single seat with a pillion seat cover, a dual exhaust system with a silencer mounted on each side, and three-spoke alloy wheels.

Unlike other versions, the bike was built on a monobeam steel frame with a 43 mm adjustable Ohlins inverted fork on the front and a cantilever swingarm with an adjustable Ohlins monoshock on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.

The braking system was retained from previous models, with two 320 mm Brembo stainless steel floating discs on the front and a 282 mm fixed disc on the rear.

As for the power figures, the 2003 Moto Guzzi V11 Cafe Sport had its soul brought to life by a 1,064cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine that delivered 91 hp at 7,800 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
