MOTO GUZZIV11 Le Mans Nero Corsa 2003 - 2004

　　In 2003, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans Nero Corsa, a special edition motorcycle made in 170 units, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the Rosso Corsa but with a blacked-out appearance.

　　It was derived from the Moto Guzzi Le Mans manufactured by Moto Guzzi from 1976 as a replacement model for the Moto Guzzi 750 S3. The standard model was produced until 1992 when it was replaced by the Moto Guzzi 1100 Sport.

　　The original 850 Le Mans model had a cafe racer style, a clip-on handlebar, and a bikini nose fairing. Still, due to more modern and powerful bikes made by other motorcycle makers, the later Le Mans were developed more as sport-tourers with a three-quarter fairing.

　　The bike was named after the 24-hour motorcycle endurance race at Le Mans in France. This designation was first used on the 850 prototype, based on the V7 model, presented at Premio Varrone in late 1972.

　　The 2003 Nero Corsa had standard features, such as three-spoke black-finished aluminum wheels, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, a single seat, a medium-sized windscreen, and a front fairing with a round headlight upfront.

　　Power-wise, the 2003 Mot Guzzi V11 Le Mans Nero Corsa had installed a 1.064cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, boasting 91 hp at 7,800 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
