That looks pretty damned tasty. It would fool almost anyone who wasn't a serious Guzzi-ista into thinking it was an MGS01. That doesn't look like a Ghezzi and Brian production though.....who makes that one? ....seanTarting the Guzzis up as Italian Harleys is a profanity. No, this is not an MGS-01. It is essentially a body kit on a V10 Centauro. Tell me that it would not have sold!

It might be a ripped mold taken from the MGS-01 bodywork. It is pictured at Mistral, which is basically across the street from Guzzi. Mistral is the Guzzi exhaust maker, having an "in" with the factory. They fabbed up the one-off underseat pipe. That would be a killer body kit. I like Ghezzi & Brian, but I love the MGS-01 just as it is. Kevin Cameron, tech writer for Cycle > Cycle World, called the MGS-01 "impossibly beautiful"
I was fortunate to be able to see the MGS01 in person, and even sit on the thing. I can't offer a perspective though, as it felt much like my Aprilia where the seating position is concerned.
No worries. I posted to generate discussion. Doesn't matter where that discussion leads......sean
The date of this posting on the Rare Sport Bikes For Sale site is from January of this year. Whether or not it is still up for sale is questionable but seriously, there aren't many motorcyclists with $55K in their pockets to drop on this thing. Check it out through the link above.....sean
:grin2: yeah, that's a sensible thing to do!! LoL...I guess that means they still have it then. On another note, one of my all time favorite Guzzi "customs" is the Magni Guzzi Australia:
The 1998 model I started this post with is the rarest of the Magni Guzzi Australias as there were but 50 made for 1998. $30-$35K is more likely the starting point for one of these.....though $50K is not out of the realm of possibility..........sean
Not sure what you mean by that.....is there a site where you found that image...maybe an article to go along with it???........sean
Sorry for the late response, Been preoccupied with Guzzi stuff as of late. Both the V11 and the MGS-01 body kit are history. HTmoto in Germany made bodywork for various Italian bikes. The Guzzi V11 was one of them, and the lovely MGS-01 was the perfect model to emulate. That pic is from instagram, and is one of the kits fitted to a pedestrian V11. However, the owner of HTmoto apparently retired and it appears that tooling has been sold to Seby-Poly, also in Germany. If any of it is still in production, who knows? They do have a ton of bodywork for Ducs - both OEM style and many factory racebike/cafe designs. Might want to download their pdf catalog.
