Cult bike Moto Guzzi 1100 Sport
Liberation Strike
Actually it should have been called Le Mans, but even under less spectacular names, all Guzzisti welcomed the Moto Guzzi 1100 Sport like release.
Sports fans have not just started believing yesterday, M.oto Guzzi occasionally neglects the legacy of the epoch-making V7 Sport. No, even at the end of the 80s, the Le Mans IV, clad with too much plastic, was neither sufficient for your performance aspirations nor your viewing habits. At the same time, however, hot Guzzi-based racers were fueling the longings everywhere: wonderful battles were raging in the popular Battle of Twins class.

No more fun, the brave V2 has to carry along. And also gets ram pressure through the small panel openings.
This unheard-of complete oeuvre then went from fair to fair for a few years under the name Daytona, appeared in adorable form in 1992 – and plunged the hard core of brand fans into deep despair because of its far too high price. Then the unbelievable happened: Guzzi answered the plea in 1994 and transplanted the inexpensive old, but enlarged, two-valve engine into the wiry Daytona body. As with Dr. John’s racing machine made of a rectangular central tube, the engine has a supporting function, bolted cast parts take on a triangular swing arm, which is supported against a stiff WP central spring strut. A sturdy and sensitively appealing Marzocchi fork is working up front, and not only those who switch to Le Mans can really look forward to the performance of this chassis. Accurate, stable, handy, and blessed with crisp Brembo brakes in line with local custom.
Just as typical for the country, the racy Moto Guzzi 1100 Sport also combines a few shortcomings, such as a very long tank that is compelling in a stretched sitting position, a hooked gearbox, an open-running cardan drive that spills its grease and a motor that is musical thanks to Lafranconi end pots It shows talent, but doesn’t come out of the cellar despite the increased displacement. Trifles, reply everyone who gave the sport space and was allowed to show it fast, angled, flat or twisted country roads. Above 4000, or better still 5000 rpm, the world is perfectly fine, and a sports motorcycle will probably be able to demand such speeds. Two years after debut, a WP upside-down fork added a touch of fun, Weber-Marelli’s injection replaced the mighty Dell’Ortos, increased power, and their throttle bodies came off lightly and loosely – oh wonder! – fully open with a single turn. Without follow-up, Guzzisti no longer understood the world.
