2011
The 2011 Moto Guzzi Nevada Aquila Nera is a cruiser motorcycle, part of the Nevada line which has been a staple in Moto Guzzi's lineup for years. It offers a classic Italian take on the cruiser aesthetic. This model year continued the tradition of providing a manageable and stylish entry point into the world of Moto Guzzi ownership. Similar to the Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 or the Honda Shadow Spirit 750, it aims to deliver a classic cruiser experience in a smaller, more approachable package.
At the heart of the Nevada Aquila Nera lies a 744.0 ccm (45.40 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This powerplant produces a respectable 47.6 HP (34.7 kW) at 6800 RPM. The torque peaks at 54.7 Nm (5.6 kgf-m or 40.3 ft.lbs) at a relatively low 3600 RPM, making it responsive in everyday riding situations. The fuel capacity is 14.00 litres (3.70 US gallons), providing a decent range for cruising.
The Nevada Aquila Nera offers a comfortable and relaxed riding position typical of cruisers. The low seat height of 752 mm (29.6 inches) (at its lowest setting) makes it accessible for riders of various sizes. The riding experience is characterized by the distinctive v-twin rumble and the manageable power delivery. It is well-suited for relaxed cruising and shorter trips, providing a satisfying connection to the road.
The Moto Guzzi Nevada Aquila Nera 2011 is aimed at riders seeking a classic cruiser experience with Italian flair. It's a good option for those new to motorcycling or those looking for a smaller, more manageable cruiser than some of the larger displacement options available. While it might not be the fastest or most technologically packed bike on the market, it offers a unique character and a satisfying riding experience, making it a solid choice for riders who appreciate the Moto Guzzi heritage and the simplicity of a classic cruiser.
