luhbo Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Don't want to put down the MGS, but have you seen the LM-II for 3.5 on the same site? That's tempting! Put a V11 engine in and you're through. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Well a lot of buyers from Europe are coming to the UK to buy bikes! The exchange rate can make it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 That's tempting, no doubt, but...............there is none spare parts for this machine. I would opt for the new Griso with the new engine made by Millepercento. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 If I hit the lottery (which I don't play) this bike would be on it's way to Decoy,Ky. right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytstaab Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Do they have the wheelbase listed correctly? 57 inches seems longer than what I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockport claret Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Saw it at Moto Strada about a month ago, lined up with the other 2nd hand bikes and had a sit on it only for one of the sales people to rush over and tell me to get off as it was a customers in for a service. I remember it being for sale when I got my Mandello which is around 18 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastguzzi Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 ... have you seen the LM-II for 3.5 on the same site? That's tempting! ... Well a lot of buyers from Europe are coming to the UK to buy bikes! The exchange rate can make it worthwhile. I think Moto Strada's prices are always very high. They are well above the amount being asked for similar bikes that I've seen elsewhere / locally. As you say, maybe European sales are keeping prices in bigger dealers high – though I suspect that these guys are just on the high side anyway.

DeBenGuzzi Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 DAMN, I wish, I would trade both my bikes for it but would then need to find about another 10-15,000 GBP after everything to get it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured your old one would be feeling a little slow after reading the reviews of the new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Arent you going to get that new Aprilia rsv v4 Ben? I figured your old one would be feeling a little slow after reading the reviews of the new one Well, in the country where 70 mph is fast, the old one will do I suppose. I can remember to have seen a mgs01 in the UK for 17K gbp. And that was when 1 pound = 1 euro. Now it will cost 22k euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtucker Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Do they have the wheelbase listed correctly? 57 inches seems longer than what I thought. That seems about right... but the torque figures seem a bit off... I wouldn't kick her out of bed though! __Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Is there a general concensus on what the actual value of an MGS-1 should be? I'm thinking £10,000 / £13,000 or $20,000 / $25,000 that's just an uneducated guess. Correct me if I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 When Guzzi announced the road legal MGS01 a few years back they said the newprice would be about £12k. Then when it actually became available as a track only machine price went up to £15k, and now it is listed at £17999. They seem to sit in showrooms for ages because not many Brits have that sort of money to spend on a track only bike so most end up getting bought by American or European buyers. Nice bike but on a race track I reckon a standard R6 would just as quick around most circuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 and now it is listed at £17999. the one in the ad you posted is listed a £19,995 Seems a little optimistic to me, even with the road legal conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
