Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Prototype

There are motorcycles and then there are motorcycles that will have us drooling all over and in the case of the Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Prototype, we just stared at it in bewilderment, possibly with our jaws wide open. The details with regard to this exceedingly beautiful two-wheeler is fuzzy at best. There’s a lot of marketing mambo jambo in the official PR text with the aim to drive emotion in consumers, but honestly, it doesn’t need all the emo driver to tell you this is the bike you wish Moto Guzzi will make. Even if you won’t be buying it for whatever reasons, it only feels right that this should be made. Based on Moto Guzzi California 1400, the MGX-21 has hulking 1,400cc V-twin stuff into it and just in case you never noticed the bulging power plant, the cylinder rocker covers are thoughtfully coated in red just so that no one ever missed it. And the carbon fiber disc covering the 21-inch wheel just make a sleek bike even more sleek.

Aesthetically, the MGX-21 has an unmistakable Moto Guzzi air to it; you know it is by birth Moto Guzzi, but at the same time, it has a tint of futuristic aspect to in it that does quite look like one and that’s just the way we love it. And we don’t even want to begin to describe how handsome the rear end looks (definitely better Iggy Azalea’s, in our humble opinion). So how is it futuristic, you asked? Well, to be honest. We can’t put out fingers to it. It could be the mix of carbon fiber, and matter black paint job punctuated with red accents that makes us feel that way, or it could be that super aero, carbon fiber panel-clad rear. Not sure. It just feel so. However, it could have been better if the front fairing was part of the body, you know, for a more streamlined look, like Kaneda‘s. But that’s just our fantasy, which we ask everyone, including Moto Guzzi, to pardon us for audacity to dream. There is no word if this beautiful steed will ever be made, but we have the feeling that many would love to see it on the road someday. Someday.
