Quota 1100 ES

1999 Moto Guzzi Quota 1100 ES Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Moto Guzzi's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 1999 Moto Guzzi Quota 1100 ES features a 1064 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 69 HP (50.4 kW) at 6,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 92 Nm (67.9 lb-ft) at 3,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 64.8 HP per liter and a 2,400 rpm working window between peak torque (3,800 rpm) and peak power (6,200 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 Quota 1100 ES measures 264 kg (582 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.83 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 1,600 mm (63 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 7.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 274 km (170 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 190 km/h (118 mph).
