Overview

Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport Corsa Special Edition

Taking your standard Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport, and dressing it up in a special red & white paint scheme with gold trim, the 1200 Sport ‘Corsa’ is an attractive take on a classic motorcycle line. The 1200 Sport is powered by the same smooth 1151cc V90 8v engine found in the new Stelvio NTX & Norge GT, delivering 102bhp @ 7,000rpm and 77 lbs•ft of torque. Handling the bumps in the road are Marzocchi forks adjustable for pre-load, compression, and rebound damping along with a similarly multi adjustable rear shock. Marchesini 3-spoke wheels hold the tires on, while braking is taken care of by Brembo, with twin 320mm discs with 4-piston radial calipers at the front and a single 298mm disc at the rear.
