Moto Guzzi Griso
A Cool Modern Classic from Moto Guzzi

Moto Guzzi Griso, a cool naked bike from Moto Guzzi Motorcycles.

from Twowheelsblog "This new model perfectly unites history with innovation, showing that Moto Guzzi is keeping up with the times and creating charismatic bikes. The name “Griso” comes from a famous character in Italy’s canon text of “The Betrothed”, written by Manzoni who lived not far from Mandello, where Moto Guzzi has its factory."

from Motobke "For me the styling is a real winner – she’s a gorgeous machine; long, lean and mean is how I would describe it. The cross-over headers ending up in the 2 barrelled silencer are awesome. Add this to the lashings of chrome and alloy that sits nicely with the deep black paintwork and this is Italian style at its best."

from carolenash "In the end, you need to be sure that the Griso is your cup of Espresso Vibrato. This is a motorcycle you need to feel addicted to and want to own for years, maybe for the rest of your biking life. For me, the Griso has a better finish than the average Harley, matches something like the Victory for sheer presence, style and V-twin grunt, yet it handles that bit better than a large capacity cruiser. This is a motorbike that makes any Sunday ride a bit special, different from the mainstream and I say `Bravo’ to the Italians for offering that choice in motorcycling."

from Bikepoint "Even from a distance, the Moto Guzzi Griso seethes with angry, anti-social intent. The black bodywork (what little there is), combined with the black fork sliders, Marchesini rims and blacked-out engine and shaft drive, all add up to a thoroughly thug-like brute of a motorcycle, and the decent running gear hints at the nirvana of tyre-torturing paradise. Thrown into the mix on our test bike was Moto Guzzi's performance Griso exhaust, made by Termignoni and said to boost performance, while offering a 40 per cent weight saving. This was going to be fun…"

visit realclassic "All the non-motorcyclists at my work loved it and it even made me quite cool for a short while. The performance is nothing like any of the old Guzzis I've ridden. It makes so much power and so high up the rev range, this really is a rapid motorcycle, plus it's also quite addictive playing with it too. You can bask in the fact that a Moto Guzzi sets you apart from the herd, and that fact is the same as it's always been. If they put this engine into a California chassis then they will have one seriously good looking mile-muncher on their hands. If it goes into the Norge touring model then look out BMW -- the Italians are coming and coming hard! Moto Guzzi Griso"

The Griso is a weird mix of the contempory and the classic. Here are a few alternatives:

Buell 1125CR

Moto Morini Corsaro

Victory Hammer

Ducati Monster
