macguzzi Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 About time Guzzi remembered the long racing heritage that they have and the great riders that raced for them. 11 IOM TT victories is something to celebrate ,aprillia are having a 10 year aniverserary model so what, time guzzi management kicked butt the potential is there just do it. Lino Tonti came up with one the best handling motorcycles of all time, come on guzzzi live up to Parodi's expectations.
Greg Field Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Anyone who looks to make sense of what pigaggio does with Guzzi, or looks for sensible decisions from them, is on a fool's errand. Aprilia nad then pigaggio are just the latest vultures to pick at the dessicated bones of this once-great company. It'll remain "going out of business" until an Italian Vaughn Beals comes along to revive it.
antonio carroccio Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Say Antonio Don't like words? There's a Forum Topic here -- just for you: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?...ost&p=79218 Jee, thx Ratch. I feel 10 years younger now.

I suppose from a buisness perspective why build a full line of bikes into 2 brands, I mean I haven't heard that Aprilia is planning on making a big cruiser! Maybe this is what they are thinking, leave the sport bikes and dirt machines to Aprilia and the rest to Guzzi. Maybe they wil come up with a free suspender promotion for the new bikes!
Paul Minnaert Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Paul, do you have a link to this story. This is very distressing news. I'm hoping that he might mean they aren't planning on building a superbike-level sportbike. A street MGS-01/replacement Daytona doesn't actually have an analogue in the Aprilia world. Course, that's just my wishful thinking, he might mean just what it says, no sportbike. Like to get a read on that from someone who speaks Italian and can translate the nuances of the interview... dk http://www.guzzisti.it/page_builder.php?fi...ingombrante.htm
Admin Jaap Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 The V11 is mentioned in that article. What'd-he-say-What'd-he-say?
Guest drknow Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 http://www.guzzisti.it/page_builder.php?fi...ingombrante.htm Thanks Paul, my read is that they diretore generale isn't really discussing the motorcycle we're looking for, rather a serious racing platform like the new V4, 1098, RC8, etc. I'm hoping they parts bin a bike out of what they have. Maybe that's still a possiblity. However, I'm thinking that Mario is right. It's unlikely that anything great will happen if/until new management takes over from Piaggio
v11cafe Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I WANT ONE....!!!!!! TELL THE DIRETORE GENERALE ....WHAT HE CAN .....DO!!!!!!!!!!
Paul Minnaert Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 you don't have to shout: if you want one, get one.
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 you don't have to shout: if you want one, get one. he means production street of the MGS-01 that thing would cost an assload, pardon my dutch. Its strange why that never materialized it would have made a great statement for guzzi I may have gotten one over the RSVR if it was a less special parts production for 15K 6 years ago when it was being developed or was that 7 years?

The bike pictured has turn signals and a license plate mount. Not a street version? Wouldn't mind one myself.
Paul Minnaert Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 that one is a modicated one in germany, could be had with license for 31000 euro.
antonio carroccio Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 that one is a modicated one in germany, could be had with license for 31000 euro. ...seems to be cheaper than the 'djezmotcheedychii' anyway...
orangeokie Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Another good reason to maintain that V11 for the long haul. I couldn't agree more. These V11's are sure to hold their value well over the next decade.
Guzzirider Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 There are at least 3 street legal MGS01s in the UK- my local dealer has one. Think he said he wanted about grand over the usual (high) list price. Cheers Guy
