In 1996, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Moto Guzzi Sport 1100i, a sports motorcycle equipped with a Weber-Marelli fuel injection system. Besides its new fuel injection system, the bike was visually similar to its predecessor.
The Moto Guzzi Sport 1100 was a sports motorcycle that debuted in 1994, based on the Daytona model but with more simplified features. It was manufactured until 2000 when it was replaced by the Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Red Mandello.
The motorcycles manufactured in 1994 and 1995 were powered by two Dell'Orto carburetors, while the 1996 model introduced a new fuel injection system from Weber-Marelli that provided smoother power delivery and lower emissions.
Like previous models, the 1996 motorcycle packed standard features, including an upper front cowl with a single headlight, a small windscreen, a two-up dual seat, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
Suspension-wise, the motorcycle featured a 40 mm inverted and adjustable WP telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable WP shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.
As for the power figures, the 1996 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100i had its soul brought to life by a 1,046cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that generated 90 hp with peak force at 7,800 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.
