The Moto Guzzi V11 was a roadster motorcycle presented by Moto Guzzi at the 1997 Milan Motor Show. Still, due to the company's poor financial situation, the bike was released into the world two years later, in 1999.
In 2004, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi Sport Naked, previously called V11 Sport. The bike was mechanically identical to the V11 Sport model but came with new colors.
The bike had standard features in the visual department, such as a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and black-finished three-spoke wheels.
The bike was produced around a steel frame that housed a 40 mm adjustable inverted Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and a cantilever swingarm with an adjustable Sachs-Boje shock absorber on the rear acting as suspension.
Brembo handled the bike's stopping power with two 320 mm floating stainless steel discs and four-piston calipers on the front wheels and a 282 mm fixed stainless steel disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
In the performance department, the 2004 Moto Guzzi V11 Naked took its thrust from a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, boasting 91 hp at 7,800 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
