Piega 1000

2001 Mondial Piega 1000 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Mondial for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2001 Mondial Piega 1000 utilizes a 996 cc (60.8 cu in) v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 136 HP (99.3 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 110 Nm (81.1 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 136.5 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Piega 1000 measures 179 kg (395 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.76 HP/kg (1.32 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,398 mm (55 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 270 km/h (168 mph).
