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.

"...you meet the weirdest people riding a Guzzi !!..."
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

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 !!

Here a couple toover.
Feel the fear and do it anyway
Don't confuse education with intelligence.
There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.
I like the customised Griso but the V11 is a bit weird (esp that pipe).

Maybe for those tha would like to see a bit more of the Breva engine, which is much the same as the Grsio 1100 also... check this page out http://pexi.blogs.com/photos/1100_engine/engine_01.html
Scoot away with younow
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.
Whats this now... the stelvio, is going to be a real thang. Check out his link for the detail.. 2008 The New Stelvio An interesting looker, the wire wheels are nice.
Need to see some higher res pics realy.
This guy went to a lot of trouble to make this movie and it is kinda good for the serious Guzzinut only

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.
spd:-)
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
