One thing I noticed in the photos and again today is that to me the back end of the bike doesn't quite look right. To my eye somethings not right in the realtionship of the back wheel to the guard etc. Like its too far back or something- has anyone else noticed this?

I think it'd look grand with twin mufflers, one either side Dunstall style. Give it a more balance look.

hey Bonz, which web site did you get those details from? as I thought they were rated the same as the v11 @91hp.

Was probably OK before D got hold of it....

I saw a review of that ..

everybody underestimates that bike when they get on it. A last minute change to raise the footpegs to give it more clearance shows even the designers underestimated what that motorcycle could do.

Very sexy IMHO

Just a quick google search. Pom sites I think they where. Figures seem to vary between 102 down to mid 80s depending on the location of the Moon, Sun and Pluto. It' nice MG have stuck with the 2v motor and not put those fuck-ugly headlamps that seem to be fitted to naked bikes these day. Anyway, what diff does 3 ponies make to a bad rider

Have a look at the marketing bullshit at this one

I went in to EW's yesterday morning and saw the red (more red/orange) Griso - beautiful looking bike except for that muffler. What a monstrosity. Frame seemd very reminiscent of the Triumph frame under the tank.

Biff the muffler - then its the go. Only in black though!

I think you need to get some glasses.... on that site there is no mention of a Griso and the specs of it... and the specs on the V11 state Maximum power: 91 hp @7800 rpm
