Incomprehensibly beautiful.
I’ve often suggested that when a Guzzi is beautiful, it is more so  than a Ducati or MV Agusta of the same ilk.
Imagine a similarly dressed Desmosedici or F4, they are almost TOO “nice”. The Guzzi has a mix of raw brutality offered on a plate of class and refinement.
It’s like Mike Tyson performing ballet to a Strauss waltz, it seems impossible yet somehow it works sensationally well.
The MGS 01 was in the same class.
Only three things.
I’d like to see one with a clear screen and just a touch less upsweep on the mufflers, done by Termignoni in aluminium or titanium.

I think I agree with Huzo.  It's very cool, but the upsweep on the cans is just a bit too much.

I don’t like the pipes either.  Angle of muffler is goofy and having what looks like old cafe-bike-looking black reverse cone megaphones on a new high tech build is a swing and a miss.

 Otherwise, I like it.  Don’t want it, but I like it.

It’s not really a fault Dave, just when some thing close to perfect, stands next to something that IS perfect, it stands out a bit.
Moreover.
Sophia Loren in her prime did have one glaring fault….
She couldn’t cook . :rolleyes:

Yep..
Have it washed and brought to my tent, sans mufflers. I’ll work something out… :wink:

Yup, that’s a lot better.  Even with a similar too steep angle on the cans, they’re modern enough to fit the build much better.

Huzo, the reality is that whenever any woman-regardless of looks- finds out you’re a real chef, none of them can cook….

Yeah but you would have to appear to be a totally incapable slob who looks like they can’t do laundry when you first meet for her to believe that’s true..

I guess I could do my 1/2 the laundry when she's mowing her 1/2 the law or clearing snow of her 1/2 the driveway or killing her 1/2 of the spider in the corner.

Yeah I do my share around here. I even do most of the cooking and even do dishes a lot of the time. I do 100% of the outside work to boot.  In her defense if I get low on my sock or underwear supply I may have to do my laundry to have clean clothes before her normal laundry day.

Normal laundry day around here is 2 or 3 loads a day. Don’t know what the wife and kiddo wash or how often but the electric bill suggests a lot. Really don’t care as long as cloths are clean and hamper isn’t overflowing. Prefer it over the opposite

Just to clarify, my gripe is the flat, ugly boring paint jobs. And how many years can you carry the same bright blue?
I think 1/2 of the Ducaties bought are because they are bright red. JMHO!
