Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport 4V (2007 – 2008)

Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport 4V (2007 - 2008)

The Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport 4V is a testament to the Italian manufacturer’s commitment to performance and style. Powering this machine is a heavily re-engineered 90-degree V-Twin engine, producing over 94hp at 7800rpm and a substantial 74lb-ft of torque at 5800rpm. The engine’s unique character is evident in its responsiveness and flexibility, making it a joy to ride both on the twisties and the open road.

A host of updates, including revised intake and exhaust port shapes, a new exhaust system, and twin spark plugs, work in harmony to deliver a smooth and potent output. This is complemented by a six-speed gearbox with sport-oriented ratios, feeding power to the rear wheel via Guzzi’s robust shaft drive system.

The bike’s handling and ergonomics are equally impressive, with a high-tensile steel frame providing extreme rigidity and a comfortable riding position thanks to mildly rear-set footpegs and one-piece handlebars. The Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport 4V is poised to excel as a sport-tourer, offering a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and style.
