THE Moto Guzzi logo, the strong and clear signal of an ever more evident and tangible presence. A presence also confirmed by the statistics which attribute more than 20% growth to the Mandello del Lario company (sell-out datas), with a special reference to some of the most important markets as Italy (+29%), United States (+50%), United Kingdom (+32%) and Germany (+17%), as part of a far from thrilling trend in the two wheeled vehicle market as a whole.
The growing interest in Moto Guzzi among both the general public and motorcycling enthusiasts is further confirmed by the packed rallies, attention aroused by the presentation of new models and incredible welcome given to the MGS-01, one of the centres of attraction at Intermot 2002, so attractive it received extraordinarily high marks in a survey on the aesthetic characteristics of bikes.
But above all, the renewed passion for the "eagle on the tank" is demonstrated by the sales success of the bike which symbolises the new direction - the Breva V 750 I.E. - with sales forecasts of a full 4.000 units for the period March-December 2003. A figure which speaks for itself.
The "Corsa" version of the MGS-01 has already been test ridden on the tracks by the press, immediately winning the front pages of numerous specialist publications throughout the world. The project born in the "style" and "technology" laboratories has already produced its first fruit and this is just the beginning.
The public, the press and motorcycling enthusiasts have understood that the commitment in technological and human resources, passion for a historic name and desire to win back former prestige are more than just idle words. The programme is clear and well-defined, promises are going to be kepted and the results are there for all to see. The time has come to thrown down new challenges.
