Paul Minnaert Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 2 guys in austria, wanted a mgs01 to drive on the street, they started with a centauro, and made the mold for the fearing/tank/tail from only the pictures. First from the two is almost ready, now at the mistral factory to get a made to measure exhaust system. Since Mistral made the first proto exhaust too. The link to their pictures: http://www.guzzipfarrer.at/chassis-MGS-01.html
al_roethlisberger Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 ...obviously not the same bike, swingarm, etc, but hey, if the details don't bother you, and it's about the looks Heh, you have to give them credit... good job al
callison Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 This is great - even affordable, maybe. The hardest part these days is getting a Centauro. Still, you could go with a 2V engine just as easily and call it an MGS02. What would you call this one though? It doesn't have the advanced chassis features of the MG01 so I would be loathe to call it an MGS01 replica although MGS Strada certainly would be appropriate.

How did you find it?
Paul Minnaert Posted March 24, 2005 Author Posted March 24, 2005 they call it corvile from corsa+ zivile I'm impressed how they made from pictures only ( they collected 500 pictures) the plastics. The rest from the bike is all what can be bought in the shop.
zebulon Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Do you know if they shortened the Centauro frame ? Perhaps later they will replace the guzzi swing arm by another beautifull part. It is too bad they didn't fit fork like ours so their bike could be still more closer of the original Corsa But great job anyway
Guest mathieuguzzi Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Interesting. They also fitted the 6 speed gearbox. BTW they seem to use the 5 spokes in Y wheels from PVM. It the first time that I see a Guzzi with them. I prefer the look of the 10 spokes. Mathieu
callison Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 It's a beautiful bike. Putting it together though, has got to be pretty close in cost to purchasing the real thing. Personally, I'm hoping for a resurrection of the VA10 in street from in this livery. That, would be a truly attractive street bike.
Paul Minnaert Posted March 24, 2005 Author Posted March 24, 2005 They didn't change the frame, they wanted the swingarm like on my bike, for step two in the project. My bike has now a wheelbase of 1430mm :-)
Paul Minnaert Posted March 24, 2005 Author Posted March 24, 2005 i still have 2.5 cm of advance yes, but also a 5 speed box and short swingarm:-)
