You gotta be kidding....here it is "mid" 2004 and I've been told for 2 years the corsa would be released in ???????. So far there's one completed bike which shreds 6-speed gearbox and can't even finish a race!(see albacete). Word of the gearbox problem surfaced in early 2003, you would have thought they would have gotten a handle on this by now, but noooooooo. Know what's funny? Honda and Suzuki can develop a "race" bike from concept to completion in less than a year, take it to the circuits and run the snot out of it for that year without problems. This MGS01 is starting to look like the Harley racebike VR-1000 that in it's 6 year run finished a handful of races. The bike is beautiful to the eye but is hard on MG wallet. If they ever get the program going I'm not racing out to purchase one 'til the bugs are found and squashed! Just my opinion.
