Guest chong-chong Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You are NEVER gonna be able to buy one for the street. Well...I guess I should start looking at an Aprilia Mille then. Too bad. If the MSG\01 was available today, I'd buy it. I have nothing but praises for my LeMans, but I want something a little more sportier for the track. I checked out Ghezzi-Brian's web page, and they have some interesting pictures of the MSG\01 in development stage. Here's the web page: http://www.ghezzi-brian.com/models_engineering.htm Wow! This is the longest thread I've ever started! Well...I couldn't wait any longer for the MSG\01, so I bought the a 04 Aprilia RSVR Mille. I think when the street version finally gets here, my Mille will be ready for a trade-in . I still have my Le Mans. Don't plan on selling it.

TX REDNECK (R.I.P.) Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 How about it Aprillia, where's my sales commision ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I keep seeing MANY pre-order ads on cycletrader.com for the MGS, so some dealers are certainly "selling" them... them and Griso as well. Now whether they actually show up Caveat Emptor Who knows, maybe I'll buy an MGS one day(probably not), but it'll be 5 years after the introduction so I can get a good "depreciated" deal on one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not_scooter_Scura! Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I had put aways for the purchase I have decided to keep the 1100 sport and buy a supermotard and do a little racing for fun more than anything else. yeah, that's it I reckon. I got a V11 & KTM Duke - it seems like a perfect stable for now. I tried to be a one-bike-bloke ...did'nt work out...gladly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 A little off topic and a little on topic. Say you put a downpayment or a deposit on an MGS and it never shows up. Do you get your money back? I would assume so, but it seems like it could get ugly. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HDGoose Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I just think that Guzzi is chasing the wrong customers. Lets face it, there are 600cc JAP bikes that sell for $6000 that will out perform any new Guzzi. Where Guzzi's excel is not their top speed, or HP numbers, but in the handling and (hopefully) longevity. They don't get boring after 6 months of ownership. The joy of riding is not related to loss of license and possible jail time for one incident . Want to keep a bike for 10 years? Buy Guzzi. Want a bike until the next "latest and greatest" comes out, buy a JAP bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Where Guzzi's excel is not their top speed, or HP numbers, but in the handling and (hopefully) longevity I take it you are suggesting that we make our own choices, correct? I have already made that choice and from what the dealer says so have a lot of other people so I don't believe Guzzi is targeting the wrong people. Besides - I want a Guzzi with top speed, big HP numbers, handling and longevity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertwin1 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 BIG horsepower is a relative term when associated with Moto Guzzi. Helicopter Jim,didn't you watch Ben Bostrom and Miguel Duhamel kick the fields ass with their Honda 600's in a field of 180 horsepower Yamaha R-1's at Daytona this year. The MGS-01 makes somewhere in the vicinity of 130 ponies(at best)which is nothing to sneeze at but when confronted with a kid on a properly tuned Honda 600RR you are gonna cry like a baby...trust me.
