Built around Moto Guzzi's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2021 Moto Guzzi MGX-21 1400 relies on a 1380 cc (84.2 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 96.6 HP (70.5 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 121 Nm (89.2 lb-ft) at 3,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 70 HP per liter and a 3,500 rpm working window between peak torque (3,000 rpm) and peak power (6,500 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 MGX-21 1400 measures 356 kg (785 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.27 HP/kg (3.69 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,700 mm (66.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20.5-liter (5.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 311 km (193 miles) between fill-ups.

Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
