At the heart of the 2015 Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport Rosso Corsa enduro - offroad motorcycle, Moto Guzzi relies on a 1151 cc (70.2 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 105 HP (76.6 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105 Nm (77.4 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 91.2 HP per liter and a 250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,750 rpm) and peak power (7,000 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 1200 Sport Rosso Corsa measures 240 kg (529 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.44 HP/kg (2.29 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,535 mm (60.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 32-liter (8.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
