The Griso 1100 is a distinctive naked bike built around a 1,064cc air-cooled, longitudinal 90-degree V-twin, it produces roughly 70 horsepower and 56 lb-ft of torque, delivered through a six speed transmission and shaft drive. The design stands out with its exposed engine, single sided swingarm, and tubular steel frame, giving it a unique presence compared to more conventional standards.
The chassis features a fully adjustable 43mm fork and a rear shock with linkage, while Moto Guzzi’s CARC shaft drive system helps reduce typical shaft-drive reactions under acceleration and deceleration. Braking is handled by dual front Brembo discs, offering strong and consistent stopping performance.
With a wet weight of around 540 pounds and a relatively aggressive upright riding position, the Griso offers a balanced mix of comfort and control. It’s not aimed at outright sportbike performance, but instead delivers a composed, predictable ride with an emphasis on everyday usability, making it a solid option for riders looking for something different in the naked bike category.
