Supertwin 1100

2001 Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Ghezzi-Brian for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2001 Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100 relies on a 1064 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 94 HP (68.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 88.3 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Supertwin 1100 measures 220 kg (485 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.43 HP/kg (2.34 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 210 km/h (130 mph).
