Photo of Moto-Guzzi 1200 MGS-01 Corsa 2004

presentation of the 1200 MGS-01 Corsa 2004

a 1,200 cm3 twin-cylinder engine housed in a single-beam aluminum frame... an inverted Öhlins fork married to radial brake calipers to guide and calm the beast... a fully digital instrument panel and exemplary finish... It's a proto, very close to series production, but above all, a Moto Guzzi. The next sports bike from Mandello's udine takes to the Adria track in a racing version that exudes a striking charisma. Beautiful, pure and impressive, with its generous cylinder heads protruding from both sides, the Guzzi MGS 01 is a sports bike like no other.

Contact! The air-cooled twin snorts and vocalizes with gusto, thanks to the racing exhaust system. 2 big lungs for plenty of reach, a vigorous climb in the revs, and 122 hp at the rear wheel - a figure soon to rise to 130. But the MGS is not a pure pistarde, and its substantial weight (192 kg dry) penalizes it in fast sequences. The bike is easy to corner and stable, but the weight pushes the trajectory out of the way and the machine becomes physical to maintain on the corner. With its huge engine in the way, the chassis has benefited from the help of MOTO-GUZZI 1200 MGS 01 CORSAboiling brains to sharpen it: the long swingarm (a guarantee of good stability) is anchored directly to the separate gearbox housings, allowing a short, sporty wheelbase. The gearbox is smooth and precise, sending the horsepower into the cardan shaft, which is discreet, provided you take care when downshifting. Despite a slight lack of feel, braking combines power and consistency with honor and serenity. A competitor to the Buell Firebolt and BMW R 1100 S, the MGS 01 Corsa is not a GSX-R or CBR, but a sports bike that speaks more to the heart than to the stopwatch.

it's a shame that this beautiful bike remained a prototype and didn't join the guzzi range to replace the daytona. it would be great to see it brought up to date again....svp monsieur Piaggio Rating : 5/5

French riko Model 2010
it would be great to improve this bike so that it can be seen on endurance circuits such as the 24 hours of Le Mans Rating : 3/5
French Model 2004
why? why? why do these Italians do it to us all the time?
A stroke of genius, broad shoulders, a small ass, a dash of competition and all in red, of course..
And it works! We're all on our knees in front of the diva, who reminds us of our childhood dreams in front of a GARELLI or a GITANE MACHIN. They really are too good!
And to make sure we'll keep dreaming, they're putting it on at an unbeatable price, with a little extra for the French who'll have them castrated at 100 hp. Really too good! Rating : 5/5
French Model 2004
Yes indeed! she's very beautiful, really superb
Her lines are very fine, she has a dehanche of madness, she reunites power, character and sensuality!!!!
mouia not bad
I wonder what she'll look like when she leaves the showroom, with a rear license plate, lights and indicators....:(
I hope she won't be too denatured and that she'll keep all her predator charisma

Rating : 5/5

One hell of a beast straight out of the Mandello factories. An exeptional model with a price tag of €17,000, but when you love it, you don't count. Attention Guzzi racing fans, and preferably single riders, because the MGS 01 is a jewel that can't be shared and doesn't leave room for a passenger. Finally, here's a beautiful and good bike that I love and I hope to be able to ride one. Rating : 5/5
