Orson Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Recently I read on a greek magazine that Moto Guzzi plans to produce a new street legal superbike, based on the MGS01. Last Fall, the Spanish magazine SoloMoto also reported on a possible sport bike called the Monza... someone seems to be fanning these flames that keep popping up <_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihem Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Last Fall, the Spanish magazine SoloMoto also reported on a possible sport bike called the Monza... i wonder if they didn't mix it all up with the newest Ghezzi-Brian, the Monza (bike of the month) ?

raz Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 i wonder if they didn't mix it all up with the newest Ghezzi-Brian, the Monza (bike of the month) ? My guess is it was this, the Monza TTR. I think it's a Guzzi project, no idea if it will reach the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well if you want a sporty ride from the current Guzzi range consider the Stelvio- I bought mine as a tourer but I have been very impressed by the speed and handling. Yes you can potter about in cruise mode but when you get on some fast twisties it feels like a giant supermoto, steering is very sweet and goes very fast (for a Guzzi) as you wind it on. In fact it is a bike you must respect when giving her a handful of revs because you know the front end will rise- you can feel it- very un-Guzzi like. Its taken me a few weeks to get used to her but now we have bonded and are in love. I can't imagine whatever sports bike Guzzi bringing out being much faster on real roads unless they give it a tuned version of the new motor or save a shedload of weight. Sounds ace with the Mistral can too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_cacciatore Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 MCN April 2 2008. The Mole reported that Guzzi stated in the facts and figures at the end of the financial year their intentions in the next financial year on focusing in on the 750 - 1400 cc market and the areas of naked bikes, cruisers, dual sports and sports bikes. Given that they have filled all those brackets bar one in bold, the mole speculates that they may well be going to go for the road going version of the MGS-01. Unfortunately the artical was brief.

DeBenGuzzi Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The Stelvio is no "dual sport"... It's not even an "adventure tourer". well what do you call it? I guess I would call it a motard or enduro, maybe not quite as purpose built as the qouta but it sure is a lot nicer looking, I think it'll do me great for my 90% on road 10% off I don't do any off road or dirt roads currently but I haven't the tool for it.

hoytstaab Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 When the MGS-01 made its debut at the Seattle CycleWorld Show, I watched people stand at the display and admire that bike for awhile. These people were young and old. There were those who were familiar with the brand and people who were not familiar with Guzzi. This kind of profound acceptance must have been received throughout the globe. I believe the MGS-01 is so good that it will still capture the same response even after so many years....including the young rider who is not familiar with Guzzi. Reading through these pages of comments I hope the 1400 cc motor finds its way to a sport chassis with MGS-01 styling and then we can mod it to be a v11 Sport naked styled bike. The ultimate cafe. "Sportsbike" - who cares what you classify it as....the street-legal MGS-02 will do just fine against the high-strung "supersports" where the road matters most. I'm sure the video below is enough to motivate Guzzi engineers, especially if they know that the BMW engineers are the ones that convinced the BMW management to bring this bike to market..... Building the HP2 didn't stop BMW from building their racebike. http://ridethetorquecurve.blogspot.com/200...ideo-sound.html c'mon Guzzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
