The metal is always nude.
I do like the look of it, except for those twin pipes. Their straightness is at odds with the rest of the clean lines, IMO.
Also I see the dash has an analogue speedo. Has it not got a revcounter or is digital like the 1098?

Hey, I'm asking for the other half but I would assume it has a digital one(?). Didnt ask, shop didnt have a brochure and its not a demo. Pipes, yes he was talking making one to put in their place or maybe buy the after market one when it comes out

I'll pass it on. Not the best review but then we have read alot of reviews that we would disagree with much of it. No rev counter, I know that wont go down well.
Being a tall person he thought the sitting position felt comfy, more upright than the normal sports stance - hoping for less pain between shoulder blades. Thought the pegs may be suited further forward too. This will be the 2nd weekend Hamptons have had it in their show room and theres another on its way.

Ive had a look at the one Mt Eden have. The tank sucks, looks like they stole it off a Callifornia. Its a nota, not a cruisier, not a Naked It's Ah.... Buggered if I know, Retro? one thing it sure as hell isn't a Grisso.
Mat black.. the new black, easy clean? Isa taliano should be Red or for some of us yellow. somebody will love it though.
Sorry ghost, but up hear in the winterless north black is too hot. Hell I have to stand up most of the way home as my seats to bloody hot to sit on. Maybe I shoud get a yellow one?
I've gone over to the dark side, No Luke I'm not your effing father

Yes stole the tank and YES definately not a Griso, that'd be my pic, but I'm just the secretary. decisions decisions.

Well it is a sad time, 2007 is coming to an end, but exciting is 2008 about to beginn.
I guess Guzzi are not going to have to much on the offering in the new year, apart from the now Bellagio, which I saw for the first time yesturday, and honestly it would be a nice bike to have in the garage for an "I'm in the moood for this today" ride. Verty sad that Hamptons have not sold and Guzzis since they took on the dealership. Aprillia seems to spark more interest for some reason.
The price point for the guzzi's has to be a large factor.
I dont understand why in Europe, and the States, they have offers of Interest Free, Free Services and the like to entice buyers onto thier seats. But here in New Zealand, it seems you just have to have the love for the machine.
The Griso 8V is out in England, and I guess elswhere in Europe, ready to satisfy those that will be coming in to Spring very soon. We will have to wait until mid-late next year... and and what price I wonder.
At around $21K New Zealand dollars in the UK. The current 1100 Griso is $16500.00, Retailing here for 25K, That give the expected price for an 8V of around $29500.00 in our showrooms... damn will people buy it for a just that little bit more herb.I am tempted... but Price does pay factor. A carrot would have to be dangled in fromt of my face... or I can see stock gathering dust, apart from the odd person taking somthing for a spin, or Money is not a factor or 'LOVE"
So 2008 may also be the Stelvio, and the V7, but I would not think they will be here until 09. But who knows they may catch the fast boat.
Have I been waffling????
Maybe when 08 begins, it is time to start a 08 thread, or just continue with this one.
