V11 Le Mans

Home to endless racing marathons, and many nights at the wheel with alternating drivers, Le Mans is much more than a place.  The name itself is synonymous with a passion for speed and endurance.
 Moto Guzziís new V11 Le Mans captures this passion and puts it on two wheels.  This machine was born out of the need for performance with greater high-speed driving comfort. With the Model V11 Le Mans, performance remains intact; but the horizons of the driver are expanded.  There is greater overall driving comfort, thanks in part to the aerodynamic protection of a half fairing.  The traditional Moto Guzzi character and looks remain, but with a greater range for longer trips in style and comfort.
 In particular, the engineers at Moto Guzzi have worked to increase stability, with a meticulous tuning of the bikeís steering.  In the V11 Le Mans, aerodynamic disturbances do not influence motorcycle performance, affording the driver greater control.  Its sporty spirit does not spare a single ounce of comfort.
 The Le Mans is powered by the latest version of the V11 90_ V twin engine, with 1064cc cubic capacity and two top valves controlled by rocker arms and push rods.  The numbers speak clearly: the 91 maximum horsepower is already reached at 7,800 rpm, for acceleration that satisfies even the most demanding drivers. Maximum speed is approximately 136 mph.  The 6-speed transmission has reduced longitudinal overall dimensions (under 70 mm), thanks to the exclusive "four-shaft" system. It features easy and quiet clutch engagement, for immediate sensitivity and confidence. Gear-changing is also quick and precise, through a new mono-plate clutch.
 The steel chassis is a Moto Guzzi innovation for 2002, rectangular-section monobeam, with the crankcase performing a semi load-carrying function. Steering deflection precision is guaranteed by the 25_ angle of the steering column. The suspension is high-tech, with a Marzocchi USD in the front, having 120 mm range and compression-extension control.
 The rear suspension is a cantilever system oscillating large fork, with adjustable multi-stage shock absorber. In other words: absolute stability and impeccable road grip, thanks also to the distinctive configuration of the universal joint transmission, which reduces to a minimum the rear-wheel "lifting" typical in this technical solution.  In addition, a wider rear wheel improves traction and torque delivery to the road.
 The wheels are both Brembo alloy rims, 3.5x17" to the front and 5.50x17" to the rear, mounting the latest generation Bridgestone 120/70 2R17 and 180/55 2R17 tires.The braking system is the absolute best, giving total control over performance, with 320 mm twin semi-floating stainless steel discs with Brembo ORO series 4 opposing piston calipers to the front, and a 282 mm stainless steel disc with Brembo ORO series 2 piston calipers to the rear.

Available Colors

The design and color scheme of the V11 Le Mans are also new and impressive--the elegant black color of its motor and the front-end forks, the sophisticated sportier designs in LeMans Red and Classic Champagne.
