Moto Guzzi engineers did their best with limited
resources to produce the V11, a naked retro sportster based around the
firm's air-cooled V-twin powertrain. Quality chassis parts, including Brembo
Oro brakes, Marzocchi upside-down forks and a WP rear shock help bring the
basic chassis up to a respectable level of performance.
Despite the engine and frame being based on a
30-year-old design, the V11 rides well. An updated six-speed gearbox and
lightened clutch action are a big improvement over previous models, and the
fuel-injection system is smooth and hiccup-free. An enclosed shaft delivers
drive to the rear wheel. A limited-edition Mandello Rosso version has
special paint and carbon-fibre performance parts.
