At the heart of the 1996 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100 sport motorcycle, Moto Guzzi 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 96 Nm (70.8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. 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.
