2009 MDA Design Award Winner |
|
Congratulations to Pierre Terblanche and the Aprilia
design staff working under Miguel Galluzzi for the stunning trio of Moto Guzzi
concept bikes which deservedly won the 2009 Motorcycle Design Trophy.
 The decision was reached by unanimous vote at the Designers' Night in
Milan on 10 November. The evening's events were organised by Donato
Cannatello, and held at the Moto Arte Design museum, with its wonderful display
of perfectly restored classic motorcycles. Pierre and
the team had worked non-stop to get the three concept models to the EICMA on
time (an experience most of us can empathise with), but they were rewarded
with a packed show stand, and ultimately, the 2009 Motorcycle Design Trophy. Our
thanks also go to Dario Lopez of Aprilia's Centro Stile for standing in to
accept the award at the press presentation while we were trying to track down
Pierre.
Other new models that were highly commended by the members
include the BMW S1000 RR, the Aprilia V4, the KTM 125 concept bike and BMW
Concept 6. Everyone also appreciated the exquisite attention to detail of the
Ossa trials bike.
Thanks to Donato and everyone who attended the
events.
Glynn Kerr - MDA President
