It depends on context:

eleven-seventy cc (preferred if talking about motorcycles)
one point two liters (preferred if talking about cars)
one point one seven liters (used if feeling especially picky)

It depends on your audience and the subject. If it was medicine then it must be precise so you spell it out one thousand one hundred seventy cc's. If it was an engine size then eleven seventy cc's is fine. Also depends on if your audience is a native English speaker.
