Built around Moto Guzzi's sport motorcycle platform, the 1998 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100 Injection pairs a 1064 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90 HP (65.7 kW) at 7,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 95 Nm (70.1 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 84.6 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,800 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 Sport 1100 Injection measures 221 kg (487 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.41 HP/kg (2.46 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
