The Moto Guzzi V11 Sport was a roadster motorcycle introduced at the 1997 Milan Motor Show. Still, due to the company's poor financial situation, the bike was released in 1999, and production continued until 2006.
The V11 Sport motorcycle was the first to appear on the market, with green, black, or gray livery and a red frame. The engine block, gearbox housings, and rear bevel gear were finished in aluminum gray, while the same shade was used on the aluminum spoke wheels.
In 2001, the V11 Sport changed its name to V11 Sport Naked and was manufactured until 2005. Although the Sport and Sport Naked were mechanically identical, the Sport Naked version came with new colors.
The bike featured new colors and a matte, grainy black treatment that covered the mechanics. The cylinders, cylinder heads, and rocker covers escaped the whitewash, while the wheels received a glossy black epoxy finish.
In 2001, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Naked, a naked motorcycle identical to the Sport version, packing the same technical and performance specifications.
In the power department, the 2001 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Naked had its heartbeat set by a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system feeding the pistons, boasting 91 hp at 7,800 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
