They're wonderful sporty motorcycles.

My 1996 Sport 1100 is the one bike that's remained in the stable over the past 18-years.

Eight others have come and gone during that time.

This.  I've had three, both carb and injected models, they are terrific machines. Put many 300+ miles in a day on them.

   Its just my opinion, but I believe these are woefully undervalued currently. They were built and imported in very small numbers, destined to go up in price.

Excluding the bag conundrum - given the hips and the exhaust - they make great sport-tourers. The right tank bag and alternative "luggage" and mine has been a satisfying, all day-several days, option.

Then, however, I think my '82 Katana is the bee's knees for long distance as well.

Just seems right to cover distance in a mean lean rather than a soul and spine crushing slouch.

Our man in the OP sure does know the value of quality photographic representation... Kudos to him for raising the bar in that regard.

Tempting  ;D


How hard would it be to find a stock air box for it?    I don't like the exposed air filters.   I like my air filters protected from the inevitable rain that I'd eventually get stuck in.

There are a couple on ebay now. I've kept mine on, many people do not. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=motoguzzi+sport+1100&_from=R40&_osacat=10063&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xmotoguzzi+sport+1100+airbox.TRS0&_nkw=motoguzzi+sport+1100+airbox&_sacat=10063

Well, that one didn't last long, SOLD sticker on it already. Great photos, which actually showed some of the warts. I wish the new owner LOTS of unadulterated joy.
