Engineered by Moto Guzzi for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2000 Moto Guzzi Jackal utilizes a 1064 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 74 HP (54 kW) at 6,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 94 Nm (69.3 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 69.5 HP per liter and a 1,400 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (6,400 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 Jackal measures 251 kg (553 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.29 HP/kg (3.39 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,575 mm (62 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 190 km/h (118 mph).
