- After a long time in hibernation, the Magni has finally made it on to the road. A run to the MOT centre in Newtownards to be tested then a pleasant run home to Tandragee. As I say in the video, this is the first time I've ever ridden this bike since purchasing it in November 2022. I was slightly apprehensive before setting off but very pleased with the bike by the time I got home. My first Italian Classic!
Enjoy the video.
Running sweet!
Runs sweeter than my Daytona RS. Wish I could finally find someone near Camberley that could sort it once and for all. Every place I've been to including 3x have never made it right. That sounds how mine should. Best Dave
I do love a Magni, they oooz charachter in a way only truly exotic machines can. I was lucky enough to meet him briefly in France, at a bike show playing with some MVs.
I have the feeling that I might also fall in love with it. We've only been on one date together so far😆
What a stunner and great way to kill flies 😅! It sounds absolutely gorgeous and revs like no Guzzi I've ever ridden. Health to enjoy Alistair
Thanks Richard. I think it's the only Guzzi I've ever ridden.... what a way to start😆
I was never really a fan of the Moto guzzi bikes, personally I didn't like the look of the engine across the frame, but that bike looks and sounds superb, a neighbour used to have a laverda Jota, the engine noise was spine tingling. Anyway Alistair, another gorgeous bike for your fleet.
Thanks Keith.
Lovley note from exhaust 🏍
Brilliant stuff and such a rare beast ,, you have some stable if trusted steeds now 👍 from Belfast brilliant stuff ☘️☘️
Thanks Cecil. I'll hopefully get a few miles done on her this summer.
From Japan
調子良いオーストラリアですね。
私もオーストラリアⅡを持っていますが、インジェクションの具合が悪く、キャブレターに交換しました。
I also had a few problems with the fuel system but I managed to get it repaired. Thanks for commenting and greetings from Northern Ireland.
Thanks for commenting
Magni Australia is very beautiful !!
Well to the Guzzi Australia from an expat living in Australia .... well done mate looks and sounds superb, was that a genuine Moto Guzzi snowflake covering the speedo haha
It's going to take a bit of getting used to. A fairly unique bike!
@@AlistairCampbell1047cc In the words of Big Arnie ... You can do it !!! 😀😀
Did you purchase the Australia from a chap in the North of England? I used to email him on and off and we compared notes on the bikes.
I've got an Australia 98, your's is a 92 I reckon, they made 2 runs of them. Externally they look the same but a bit different under the hood
Yup, that's where I got it. Steve in Sunderland. Haven't been out much on it yet. Busy with other matters. Do you still have yours?
@@AlistairCampbell1047cc Yeah, it's not as tidy as yours though and having the C kit (Daytona RS) engine overheats at the drop of a hat.
I think Steve told me that yours is B kitted which is probably the best compromise, as the C kit cams are ridiculous.
Beautiful bike. Does it still have the original oil pump and alloy timing gears?
Thankfully, no. They were replaced with upgraded parts. I have the old bits in the box of spares that came with the bike, although I can't see much wrong with them. Apparently, they gave problems. Thanks for your comments.
@@AlistairCampbell1047cc My pleasure and thank you for these videos, they are brilliant. Really interesting and enjoyable. I remember when the Magni Australia first came out. At the time it ws way more expensive and exotic than a Ducati 916. The magazine article was showing how the #1 is not painted black, the #1 is the underlying unpainted carbon fibre. Little touches like that make the Magni unique.
Does it have overheating problems? The fairings look very snug to the cylinder heads and there is just one air duct per side
@filippogalli3477 no, no overheating problems at all. There is an oil temperature gauge which runs around 80°.
@@AlistairCampbell1047cc glad to hear, such a cool looking bike 🥹
Stunning Magni!
Cheers, and thanks for watching.
