Frame No: KE12385
MOT: June 2025

• Moto Guzzi’s classic big V-twin sports tourer
• Presented in a good and mainly original condition
• Supplied with a new MOT and a current V5C

Moto Guzzi - which was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps - survives today as Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer with a continuous production record. After mainly producing single-cylinder designs for their road bikes, Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger-capacity bikes and the venerated transverse shaft-drive vee-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design, with the sporty Le Mans models becoming among the most sought-after bikes of the 1970s. The 1100 Sport was the natural successor to the Le Mans, matching its lazy torquey engine with more up-to-date frame components such as WP rear shock and Brembo brakes, developed by Dr. John Wittner for his privateer racing efforts in the 1990s ‘Battle of the Twins’ races.

This 1996 1100 is presented in mainly original and standard trim, including the stainless silencers. Some sources claim only about 220 of these models were produced in 1996 and, being the last of the carburetted 1100s, they are now quite rare and sought-after. It was imported into Britain in 2016 and bought by the vendor’s family in 2022, at which time it had a recommissioning service including new tyres, battery and carburettor rubbers at 25,193km. Now showing just 25,500km (15,845 miles), it will be put through a new MOT shortly before the auction and comes supplied with a current V5C.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot is, in fact, an 1100 Sport model. The catalogue mistakenly describes it as a V11 Sport.
