MOTO GUZZIQuota 1100ES 1999 - 2000

　　In 1999, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi Quota 1100ES, a dual-purpose motorcycle in its second year of production that packed the same specifications as the previous model without any modifications.

　　The bike was derived from the Moto Guzzi Quota 1000, a machine that debuted in 1992 as an enduro motorcycle powered by a 949cc V-twin engine. The 1100ES model received a displacement increase in 1998, along with other design and technical modifications.

　　The bike packed a half fairing with a single headlight unit instead of two round ones, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, Brembo brakes, an up-swept exhaust system, wire-spoke wheels, and optional panniers along with a top box.

　　Suspension-wise, the motorcycle was softened by a 42 mm Marzocchi fork on the front with 200 mm of travel and an adjustable monoshock on the rear with 200 mm of travel, offering excellent handling capabilities.

　　In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 296 mm brake discs and four-piston calipers. The rear wheel was handled by a 260 mm disc tied to a dual-piston caliper.

　　As for the power figures, the 1999 Moto Guzzi Quota 1100ES had its heartbeat set by a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 70 hp at 6,200 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 3,800 rpm.
