Description:

Moto-Guzzi dealer Hokenschnieder did it: He brings the racing Guzzi MGS-01 Corsa to the streets. The Guzzi factory can only advise: follow suit, but please fast. A test of the strongest Moto Guzzi ever.


What a sight! What an engine! What a combination of fine carbon fiber laminate, polished aluminum, stainless steel and tarnished rough, carved from solid acting cast: ecstatic The MGS-01 in the recent years not just drenched Italo fan with beautiful shapes and colors. Sure, Rosso has to be the disguise, Oro, the spring elements and the brakes and the Nero engine. Nothing is to cover him, and behind, the stern, sexy shape, start number fields may be indicated. Then fit this

In times when athletes, water-cooled engines conceal hidden under bright plastic, the Guzzi sends a clear message: I am a motor. With wheels on it, but only so much around it, as it takes to sit on and windscreens. Basta. The engine. The starter panting painfully long around on the starter ring gear. At the last minute surprise release of 1200-V2, turns the same 2000 rpm and shakes the world. No one would think the mere listening to a motorcycle engine. Rather, a propeller-fighter pilot shortly before use. The impressed. Just as engaging and driving away. The dry clutch whispers, the lever needs strength, the two-cylinder revs nervous and tends the machine to the right. Because you have to get used to. Logical that the most powerful air-cooled V-2 engine in the world not as a purring lap cat by the neck crawl. But he must hammer like so terrible that one is fear and worry? He has to. By the third course is clear: This is a true “Zerknalltriebling ‘mighty well in the mixture in combustion chambers, large canister sucked is compressed violently and then burned off in style by double ignition. The attractive, because it’s rude and nasty.

But thanks to good coordination of the injection and ignition, mechanical throttle directly linked the two intake and a moderate amount flywheel allows the Moto Guzzi MGS-01 maneuver well through the dense city traffic. And you have to whether the soft sounds of the mono pot under Heck not even ashamed. He’s stopped up to 35 mm forward, with both cylinders breathe through 50-mm throttle bodies. Whether that is good?

It goes. At least 124 hp and 114 Nm of Mandello-balanced hammer in road trim on the six-speed gearbox. That’s enough to accelerate in 10.7 seconds to 200 km / h and 251 km / h top speed. Can 600 today? No matter. On the how that matters. No one will remember whether he quickly in 10.7 seconds or 9.9 seconds 200 km / h is. That will only minimally more on the arms. On the Guzzi but he will record every shot, every single combustion process that drives him forward. Never can a four-cylinder driver experienced this crude marking at 1800 rpm, hate this hole power at 4000 rpm at 5500 rpm and fall into euphoria. He will get at 8000 rpm not fear for his rod slowly, because his organ begins to draw only because. The Guzzi shoots in this area, the core of the cylinders. And that’s really enough for public roads.

The chassis. What is the meaning suspension? Tool for driving could be interpreted strictly. Fits wonderfully. How to find her back. Almost as if on a super sports-Japan summits. Gather, trailing not too deep, not too long tank, foot pegs not too high, cylinder heads in the hard way. Le Mans drivers know what it is. The MGS-01 has to drive everything. To truly sporty driving. A balanced weight distribution for example. The engine could be fitted with a special gearbox design very far forward. At the rear gear housing cover were, mounted lever system for the rear shock, swing arm mounting, foot pegs and brake pedal. Thus, the Guzzi a long arm carry without increasing the wheelbase gene infinity. The calm, together with the support of the shaft drive with torque load changes.

The cover is a product of modern computer-controlled milling technique. Made from the solid material, it resembles a small work of art. To get the price of this expensive component would be an exciting research work. Hyosung at least 1.35.

But back to the Guzzi. What the sports rider still loves you? Sure, Ohlins. This fork and shock of this enthusiasm with a wide range of adjustment and the best response. The Brembo radial front calipers can be dose. The sport rider misses nothing. For the rear brakes are toxic, however, he needs a lot of feeling.

Overall, the Guzzi draws unmoved their car, gets his inclination to throw in if need be, even in deeply. With joy, take the next turn, enjoys the stability and leaves the cops pull the engine back out of the bend. Near the border area is left on the side stand, right around nothing. A somewhat tough-looking steering damper keeps kickback in check, the Guzzi is even at top speed as a board. On the country roads of any order, there is little nicer to drive – if you learn to love exotics. Because, as described, the engine runs rough, and must be able to turn with such a sweeping mass embossed engine.

What is missing? Perhaps warmer oil, because in testing cooled engine oil cooler and even shut down at 200 km / h on the highway the lubricant to below 50 degrees. The meter will indicate when the hectic with warnings. And consideration. The MV-mirror on the house while conveniently covering the flashing lights can be seen but little in it. And money. 28 900 € cost the MGS-01 in street trim. A lot of money for a motorcycle, but appropriate for this fascinating piece of motorcycle architecture.
