2005 Moto Guzzi V 11 Naked[edit | edit source]

The 2005 MY Moto Guzzi V 11 Naked can be considered the starting point for all its V 11 siblings. It comes with the proven, air-cooled, four-stroke, 1064cc, 90º V-Twin engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and can produce 91 horsepower and 95 Nm of torque. In addition, it is, arguably, the lightest machine in this series, tipping the scale at just 221 kg (487 lbs), which also means that it is probably the most suited to tackle sharp turns, without too much pressure being put on either the rider or the machine itself.
