Sneaky Moto Guzzi

Post by KungFooBob »

Great way to build up a bit of mystery though.

It's their 100 year anniversary this year and this is the official image/poster...

What's that in the bottom right... it's a slightly blurred new model!!

That's ace. I'd happily have that on the wall despite not liking Guzzis

Classy. I remember building a model of the V8 racer during one of my bike induced convalescing periods.

I've seen an MGS-01 in the flesh at a Cadwell track day, lovely looking thing, dripping with quality go faster bits. Shame they never made a road legal version.

The Guzzi dealer in Loughborough, which is also where I used to get my bike MOTd, had one in their showroom for a long time. Marvelous looking bike, doubly so to me 'cause I was 19 at the time.

Anyways, this blurred one...

Doesn't looks 'classicly' shaped like the V7 and V9, I wonder is its going to be a competitor for stuff like the MT07/CB650/SV650, etc..?

Knowing the Italians and their QC, it may well look like that in real life ...

My V7 II Classic is a proper quality motorcycle.

It'll also probably be for sale soon as lock down lifts

My V50 had rust from new. That one looks to be mouldy.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

They seem to have forgotten the Centauro which was designed in recognition of their 75th Anniversary ☹️
