That does not compute.  Guzzi's and Ducati's go together like peas and carrots. 



Sorry, I am another one that doesn't get it ... and my reasoning (based on no real knowledge) is evident in your chosen pics.

One bike looks light and athletic ... the other looks rather, umm, full ... and really, really heavy.

That was always my impression on the older ones as a pal who rode with me had a LeMans. 8)

Compared to my 900 SS or my R100RS Motorsport, the Guzzi used to fall into turns and required effort to get it back up. Not something I enjoyed. No idea about the current generation...

The 600 SL I had was the most nimble but got too cramped as the years rolled on...  ;)

I had a Guzzi T3 and while it had abysmal horse power it was a cornering fiend! Dunlop TT 100 tires and Koni shocks made it amazing in the twisties, which was good because I could not afford to slow down for the corners!

So it's a 350, yes?

And checking laptimes would only require a calendar?

This bike was at the local Guzzi/Aprilia dealer when I stopped by yesterday for some race parts. I couldn't believe it, as I've admired them for a long time, but never actually seen one in person.

It is a Moto Guzzi MGS-01. It is #13 out of only 60 ever made...and was bought by a local Guzzi fan from a dealer in Denmark. I believe they were made in the 2005-2006 timeframe.

One of the coolest bikes ever made IMO. Superb styling and superb simplicity. Not the fastest or the lightest, but one of the coolest. It is probably the #1 motorcycle on my want list...defintely top 3.

I agree wholeheartedly about that Goose. It is one of those bikes that miraculously loose a hundred pounds when they start moving.
