The First and Last. This photo taken at Broadford in 2016 captures history. On the left is Barry Jones’ Magni Daytona which houses one of the very first Daytona engines. Ted Stolarski campaigned the motorcycle from 1990 here and overseas. Beside it is one of the last factory racing Guzzi’s using the Daytona Engine and was built in 2007. Its a 1225cc MGS01. Both make similar horsepower.
Latest Project. I never thought I would get a thrill from 2 valves but the Scura proved me wrong.
Latest find from Japan. Frame No34. No “Australia’s” were ever sold in Australia. They we named “Australia” in honour of Ted Stolarski’s success racing the 4 valve Magni in the early 90’s. I thought only 50 of these bikes were ever made however I have seen a another example from a private collection on the central coast of NSW that has a frame number over 100. I plan to contact the Magni family for more information.
