MOTO GUZZIV11 Le Mans 2001 - 2002

　　In 2001, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans, a naked motorcycle that featured a fork-mounted fairing instead of a small cowl and taking up a name dear to the brand.

　　It was a version of the V11 base model presented in 1997 at the Milan Moto Show and released into production two years later in 1999 due to the company's poor financial situation.

　　In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a half fairing with a round headlight, a small windscreen, a single seat with a passenger seat cowl, a dual exhaust system with carbon fiber silencers, and three-spoke black-finished aluminum wheels.

　　Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 40 mm upside-down Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front end and a cantilever swingarm tied to an adjustable Sachs-Boge shock absorber on the rear.

　　The braking power was achieved by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers mounted on the front wheel and a 282 mm disc with a two-piston caliper mounted on the rear wheel, providing excellent stopping performance.

　　As for the power, the 2001 Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans had installed a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine at its core, which was managed by a fuel injection system. As for the power figures, the powerhouse boasted 91 hp at 7,800 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
