2007 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2007 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 touring motorcycle, Moto Guzzi features a 1064 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 5,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 89.3 HP per liter and a 1,700 rpm working window between peak torque (5,800 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Norge 1200 measures 270 kg (595 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.84 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,496 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 23-liter (6.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.17 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 373 km (232 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 201 km/h (125 mph).
