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.
Accessories
A wide range are available, including ballistic cloth tank bag and sport saddlebags, and carbon fiber and aluminum mufflers for competition use. For a full listing of accessories available for the V11 Le Mans, please see our accessories catalog or visit our web site at www.motoguzzi-us.com
