What is the top speed of the Moto Guzzi 1100? ›

As for the power figures, the 1994 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100 had its soul brought to life by a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 90 hp at 7,800 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

However, when it came to performance the V7 Sport lived up to its expectations with a claimed top speed of 206 km/h and the V7 Sport was one of the fastest production motorcycles available in 1971.

Cruisin' Guzzisti. Traditionally Guzzi engines last a very long time. Many would say that 15k miles is just about run in nicely! There's lots of very high mileage Guzzis out there and I know some owners are concerned the V7 mileometer can't read higher than 99,999 so at that point they will have to buy a new speedo!

Established in 1921 in Mandello del Lario, Italy, the company is noted for its historic role in Italy's motorcycling manufacture, its prominence worldwide in motorcycle racing, and industry innovations—including the first motorcycle centre stand, wind tunnel and eight-cylinder engine.

The Moto-Guzzi needs more frequent servicing, but that work is very cheap thanks to the exposed cylinder heads and relatively low-tech engine. The V85TT also boasts shaft-drive meaning that chain and sprocket replacements will never be necessary.

It's not hard to get to most of what you'll need to be working on, and the parts are generally well enough built that there are few throw-away things on the motorcycle. A Guzzi is reliable. If you're squeamish about taking this obscure motorcycle on a long trip, don't be. These are very reliable motorcycles.

It's a transverse V-twin engine -- like the ones used on all Guzzis -- and as such has a large, single-plate dry clutch and shaft drive. In fact, it's the only middleweight ADV bike to offer shaft drive, since even shaft-drive-loving BMW went with a chain on its F-series.

Moto Guzzi's motorcycle factory is located in Mandello del Lario, Italy. As a small town on the shore of Lake Como, its residents have so embraced the company that they've officially named it, “La Citta della Moto Guzzi”—the city of Moto Guzzis.

1934: Moto Guzzi is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Italy. 1939: The Airone 250 is launched, going on to be a huge success with 29,926 units being built. 1939-1945: Almost all production is given over to military manufacturing, resulting in the Alce, Trialce and Airone being built for the Italian Army.

Do Moto Guzzi make good bikes? ›

Still, Moto Guzzi motorcycles are highly desirable machines that perform well and come with a bit of style in the Italian way. Moto Guzzi's origins lie in the years after World War I when a trio of veteran pilots with a vision for a new Italian motorcycle set up shop in 1921.

Given enough room the Breva would be good for about 130 mph, and it quickly trundled up to 110 mph on a short stretch of deserted road.

The bike is equipped with a unique fairing that reduces wind resistance and improves stability at high speeds. The fairing is also designed to reduce noise and vibration, making for a more comfortable ride. The MGX-21 has a top speed of around 130 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds.

Honda's goal was to hit the market with a machine that would provide shock and awe, and the V65 Magna hit both marks. The first model boasted speeds of 80 mph, while the model released in 1983 nearly doubled that with top speeds of up to 150 mph!
