Motorcycle specifications Moto-Guzzi1100 QUOTA ES 2001 A trail like no other

Compared to its predecessor, Guzzi's big trail bike has not only gained fuel injection and cm3, it has also become more user-friendly. A slight restyling has brought it up to date, while the seat has been lowered by a few centimetres. The 82 cm seat height remains substantial, but it's the weight that should make you cautious. Handling is very good, as is comfort. Aside from its quirky looks, the main attraction of this big cruiser is its unique powertrain. Like any self-respecting Guzzi, its engine is a V2, with cylinders on either side of the machine. Although torquey at low revs, you shouldn't expect breathtaking performance. The extension is limited, the inertia palpable, and the gearbox not a model of speed. The cardan shaft will convince you to adopt a supple ride, to the delight of your senses, because a Guzzi likes to enchant you with the dull thumps of its heart. And with a face like that, you're sure to get noticed.
