Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2015 Moto Guzzi Griso.
The Griso launched in 2005 as a unique, muscly cafe. Over the coming years, it fit into a distinct category competing with bikes such as Ducati’s Diavel, HD’s V-Rod, and Suzuki’s B-King. Though the Griso was the most affordable option versus its competitors.
2009 saw the appearance of the Quattrovalvole (four valve per cylinder) 1151cc 90-degree V-twin. It became the first Moto Guzzi to house that engine which pumped out a claimed 110 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and a healthy 79 ft-lbs of torque at 6,400 rpm.
The Special Edition became a standard option in 2013 and differed from the base bike with a fancy paint job, some blacked-out parts, and spoked wheels. Mechanically, you also got adjustable suspension, and giant Brembo brakes – this bike was an interesting balance between the style of a custom with the components of a sportbike.
These are rare sights on the road, and they’re solid all-arounders that are dripping with exclusivity. As the wonderful Kevin Ash (RIP) once said in an article for BikeEXIF: “…the bike whose looks do the most for me is the Guzzi Griso, sweeping and elegant on the left, overtly mechanical and rugged on the right.”
