When you chrome plate a turd, you have achieved shiny turdiness......

I actually kind of like it. Now don't misunderstand, for the $14k or whatever they want for one, I wouldn't pick it over many bikes that cost the same or less.

These Guzzis have a sort of funky coolness that is unique to motorcycles.

What I can't figure out is that the MGS-01 would sell, even at $20k IMO, but Guzzi seems reluctant to make it.

How was knee clearance around the cyl. heads?

Only problem I can see with that bike is taller riders bumping the cyl heads; though the proportions can be misleading, especially just off a photo.

Didn't they also make a "race" version of that?

have always loved the MGS. Also don't understand why they never went with the street version in the US.

I think the "race" version was the only way it came, I know the ones imported were NOT street legal.
