macguzzi Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 For all of you with a strong currency against the pound (everyone) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOTO-GUZZI-MGS-01-CO...A1%7C240%3A1318
Skeeve Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 For all of you with a strong currency against the pound (everyone)http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOTO-GUZZI-MGS-01-CO...A1%7C240%3A1318 Starting bid is $10k UKP [sorry, don't want to take the time to find the "librum" symbol], but the reserve is set higher. Same starting price with no reserve, or a description openly stating the reserve that must be met [at this time, I conjecture $16k UKP, which is the "sale" price - remember, these only listed for $15k UKP new!] would be more interesting. This one's for the suckers...
stockport claret Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 It's at Moto Strada in Shipley. I think they have had in their showroom for nearly a year. Bit steep on the price though.
Guzzirider Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Its been sitting there gathering dust for ages- don't think a bike like an MGS01 is easy to sell in this current economic climate. I would guess a bid around the £15k mark may get it? The original championship winning Raceco Daytona is also up for sale if anyone is interested- see MGCGB site. Now thats a proper race bike! Guy
Admin Jaap Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Still a bargain if you live in a € country...
DeBenGuzzi Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 HOLY CRAP 1.38 to the POUND, I can finally start buying some crap from overseas again!!!!! it was over 2.00 last time I looked, admittedly awhile ago but I can't belive my freakin eyes.
raz Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I never figured out why there is a concept of starting bid versus reserve. What is the fargin' point?
Skeeve Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I never figured out why there is a concept of starting bid versus reserve. What is the fargin' point? Reserve is usually unknown to bidders; it's the minimum the seller will accept. Minimum bid is known to bidders, it's usually set low enough to get people to bid but high enough to weed out the wankers. So in this case, with a $10k UKP starter, it is fargin' senseless to have a reserve; just set the minimum at the reserve & be done with it!
richard100t Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I think the problem with that bike is that you probably cant get parts for it. Can you imagine trying to insure it? If you want to only got to the track with it, you can get a hell of a lot better track bike for that kind of money too. Can you imagine taking it to the track & highsiding it? Theres a very good reason that theres only 50 or so floating around. It is a very beautiful white elephant.

I would ride it on the road like a forum member or two has done on here with a lights kit, but alas I can't afford it, wish I could its my dream bike more so than the D16RR, I would think parts not TOO impossible to come by but how many do you need if you don't drop it?
doug m Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 because it is a race bike ,they supposedly send parts out within a day or two. my friend brought one in from england last year.
Paul Minnaert Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 well they had it for sale for 15.999 a few weeks a go and didn't sell http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOTO-GUZZI-MGS-01-CO...p3286.m63.l1177 The mgs01 from Robin, the one that Gyles raced on, has landed in the Netherlands. The new owner is happy with it. I see the pound is dropping again. It shouldn't drop to far else I might be tempted.
