1997 Moto Guzzi Daytona RS No reserve Manufacturer: 1997 Moto Guzzi Daytona RS Model: No reserve Registration document: French registration document Chassis No.: Frame No. ZGUKLA1KLVM111377 Engine No. KL 011449 - Rare and exclusive model - Powerful eight-valve engine - Well-preserved in original condition - No reserve Launched in 1992, the Moto Guzzi 1000 Daytona represented a genuine innovation, as for the first time the manufacturer’s traditional V-twin engine was fitted with an overhead camshaft and four valves per cylinder, boosting its power to 95 ch. This Daytona remains the brand’s top-of-the-range model, even following the arrival of the 1100 Sport, which, despite having a larger displacement, is less powerful and significantly cheaper. In 1996, Moto Guzzi went one better with the Daytona RS, which combined the fairing of the 1100 Sport with an even more powerful engine, delivering 102 ch at 8,500 rpm. In Moto Journal’s launch review, Alan Cathcart noted: “This RS is a very good motorbike, noticeably better than any of the 8-valve Guzzis I’d tried up to that point. It feels well-built...” Production remained extremely limited, at around 300 units.   In good original condition, the Daytona RS we are presenting has less than 84,000 km on the clock and the redline is at 9,000 rpm, which distinguishes this model from the standard Daytona. It was part of a major French collection before being purchased by a Parisian enthusiast in 2024. The owner is now parting with it as, with advancing age, he no longer has any use for it. It is fitted with a high-back fairing at the rear, but the original fairing is supplied with the bike. As well as being rare, this machine is one of the highest-performing and most sophisticated Moto Guzzis of the late 1990s.      French Title Frame no. ZGUKLA1KLVM111377 Engine no.
