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.

Well a lot of buyers from Europe are coming to the UK to buy bikes!

 

The exchange rate can make it worthwhile.

[antonio carroccio]

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.

[gstallons]

If I hit the lottery (which I don't play) this bike would be on it's way to Decoy,Ky. right now!

[hoytstaab]

Do they have the wheelbase listed correctly? 57 inches seems longer than what I thought.

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.

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.

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

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.

That seems about right... but the torque figures seem a bit off...

 

I wouldn't kick her out of bed though!

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

[Guzzirider]

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.

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
