    Well I know that Guzzi must have run out of alloy and steel during the making of the V11 as they made the tank out of plastic.

    They tease us all the time, but often live up to promises.
    Just take the Daytona for example, 6 years of teasing, then they make one but it's 26 grand- in 1995!
    The Griso first caught my eye in a photo from Milan bike show in 2002, sure enough they made one in 2006 (well late 2005 really)
    And thats another weird thing, the new models come out at odd times of the year too

    There is a hell of alot of plastic in the Griso, tank, mirrors, fenders, dash, but I guess it is about saving weight, and I guess that will leave less metal to rust...

    Saving weight
    I put the Griso with nearly a full tank on the pallet scales and it was 246kg
    Where it is saved I will never know
    It's that big lump under the tank wot is really heavy, and lovely

    Oh yeah I would agree there is some beuty in the beast... I was considering a cruiser prior to the griso, like a japper or Guzzi jackel/cali.
    I do not find much appeal in sport bike all farings and all. Naked, is good, and I guess the Guzzi, with those throbing pistons pumping out in the "V" well I was sold.... I am truely in love right now.. even with everyone elses hatred for the pipe...( it must be at least a 80% hate to a 20% like the pipe)
    Though I will consider other options on that fron near the end of the yar I think.
    I would hate to count the times I watched that promo video on the Guzzi.it site for the Grizz, that sure help seal the decision...

    My next bike will be a Griso I think, although the Missus told me when I bought the V11 that I have to have it for at least 5 years.
    By then Guzzi will be bringing out a new model, that will be on July 11th 2012 at 9.51am.
    Good ole Guzzi unpredictablity !!

    I like the customised Griso but the V11 is a bit weird (esp that pipe).

    Talk about going Back to the Future.

    I hope they can get a better frame this time, are we going to see the Loop Frame as well?

    Mates just cruising around the SI on his new 1200 Sport, not as hard edged as his old 1100 Sport but very comfortable,when I spoke to him on the phone he wasn't fizzing like I thought he would be, but hey, 2 up with the panniers,tank bag, rack and tent, things are bound to scrap. Told him to wait til he gets home, throws all the luggage & "Baggage" off, he's also got the go fast bits on order aswell. Cannot wait until he lets me take her for a squirt to compare her to my old 1100 Sport ie.

    Mate was up at the old Solway for Saturday night and went round the shops at Masterton, they have the Guzzi's there and peeking through the windows they are surely one of the most incredible bikes I have seen. They had the Grisso and the Norge and a nice 750. To be honest I would have one tomorrow if I had the dosh, very very classy.

    Pretty crappy photos alright. Reminds me a lot of the BMW R1200GS but with road tyres.

    What a shame it doesn't look like this http://www.raptorsandrockets.com/ima...elvio_1200.jpg
