I'm really starting to fall for this bike, maybe enough to think about giving up one of my current bikes.  Unlike some Guzzi models that can sit on the showroom floor for a long time, I doubt I'll be able to find a good deal on a leftover one of these.




Here is a video walk around of the Griso SE. Warning, you may want to mute your speakers.

I really like those bikes.  I'd love to hear one with a loud Termi exhaust and open intake tract.  Guess there's not too much you can do to lighten one up.

I think you ought to have one. waytogo

I'm right there with you.  I've been in love with that bike since the first time I saw it, but I'd have to change that god awful pipe.

Idk-you know how some pictures don't do a bike justice? I swear it's almost opposite with the Griso.


I had drooled at them online for a good long while. I went to the dealer specifically with the plan of buying one, only upon seeing it in person, was immediately turned off. Just....did not look good to me in person.


I ended up coming out with the S4R.

What's under those 'wing' panels next to the tank?

'Cause if those could come off, and something more in lines with the tank substituted, I think it'd look cool.

Man, that's a big motor.

I feel you dog!  I too am drooling  over that bike.  I love the transverse mounted V-twin with shaft drive.  Nothing like it for a smooth ride.  Back in the '70s a friend had an 850 Eldorado, the "Jesus Bike,"  I had a Honda CX500, both transverse v-twins with shaft drive.  I might be talking myself into a ride by the local Guzzi dealer....

Yeah..... I really like the Griso too.....  never owned a Guzzi, but always intended to have one...... there was always a reason to end up riding something else.  I really like that sideways twitch  [moto]  from the torque reaction when you blip the throttle... do I need to see a Doctor?

I have lusted after the Griso since I saw the first ad in 2003 long before the bike was available. I'd still like to have one but don't want to give up one of my other bikes to make room.
