The motorbike manufacturing company that has chalked up 3329 victories
in international competitions, including 14 world speed titles, 22
world records and 11 Tourist Trophies, has racing in its DNA. This is
why it gives full attention to the sports model market segment, in the
heart and minds of entire generations of fans. For this reason it has
created a “style laboratory” where research can be carried out freely,
looking for new ways to make enthusiasts dreams come true.
A new fully-developed motorbike, that has been admired since the
first
time it appeared in public, brings back all the heady emotions linked
to those wins on racetracks around the world. The MGS-01 Corsa is a
winning motorbike for modern-day tracks, with all the personality of
yesterday’s models, and with a lot more technology. Moto Guzzi does not
say so on paper, but proves it on the racetrack. The “standard” MGS-01
Corsa has proved to be competitive when it won two consecutive races
with Gianfranco Guareschi in the “Battle of Twins” during the Daytona
International Speedway Bike Week in Florida respectively in 2006 and
2007 seasons and repeated this supremacy winning the national
Supertwins title.
<>It looks like it is moving even when it stands still. It has a
streamline, feisty profile, with its aerodynamic cockpit, and
streamline, nimble tail. The impression of power and elegance is
emphasised even more by its performance. The air-cooled 1125 cc V 90
degree two-cylinder, four-stroke, four-valve engine pushes forward at
all speeds. All it takes is a look at the components to understand why.
The three-segment Cosworth pistons guarantee high compression, the. chrome-plated cylinders reduce friction to a minimum;
brass bearings are replaced by roller bearings. Control comes together
with power controlled from a riding position that has been studied for
use on the racetrack.
<>The excellent distribution of weight, with just
200 g between the front and rear axle, helps to make the bike so easy
to handle, together with the limited weight (192 kg) and the reduced
wheelbase (1450mm) The front 43mm Ohlins forks can be adjusted to three positions. Rear suspension is
looked after by a 513mm swingarm in boxed aluminium and a vertical
shock absorber just behind the engine. Two 320mm discs op front and a
single twin caliper 220mm disc look after braking.

The MGS-01 Corsa is
an exclusive motorbike that is built with the care of craftsmen and
intended for true motorbike enthusiasts. This is why each model comes
with a book with the rider’s personal details and the frame number. The
motorbike cover and the stand carry theMGS-01 Corsa logo and even the
packaging used to ship the product to the new owner is personalised.
Whoever chooses a motorbike like this one deserves nothing less.
