| It is a BEAST compared to my Norge. Rode 3mi/5km. Then rain started so put him in the garage and promptly left the house to keep the drool off the paint.

| The pillion saddle mod looks a bit crude  but otherwise, mighty fine. Mighty. As for cocktail, you might see how a properly made Campari "long drink" looks against that version of Guzzi red. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Bill | |

| Just finished that last drop of Campari trying to get that Rosso color match. Now I am drunk. I blame it on the motorcycle. It is intoxicating.
The search must start again tomorrow. | |

| I'm sorry, but a GRiSO smokes cigars and drinks whisky. Guess it could still be female. | |

| Nice bike, love the color! I would consider moving the oil cooler, can’t understad why Guzzi decided to hide the magnificent and beatiful power plant. 850 GRiSO and all 1200 Sport’s looks better in that area. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| I disagree! It is the added enhancement of the whole bike's asymmetry that is one of the greatest assets that makes GRiSO, GRiSO! | |

| In my opinion, the assymetric exhaust pipes on GRiSO are enough. Wouldn’t mind having them on the Sport, ... is it possible, Pete? | |

| Agree with Pete and a few others on this, If the GRiSO wasn't asymmetric in some elements of its design it wouldn't be a GRiSO. This is one of the most significant components of making this bike unique. | |

 I love the oil cooler, makes the GRiSO unique, I even like the standard grill over aftermarket ones! Love the red and black color, my next favorite after the Tenni Green  | |

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Well fancy that, at least two Red/Black Grisos (Grisi) in Houston, Texas! It was a decent enough day yesterday to put a 125 mile ride together, first on the GRiSO and then another 40 on the Norge. Let me know what part of town you're in, and if you're interested, come for a ride with a few other friends who are Guzzi riders too. I've got a Norge and a Scura too, so it is fun to mix them up! | |

Agreed 100%. That look is just unique... When I first saw a GRiSO I said "I want THAT". So I got one. Then I got another one... | |

| Yes. Agreed also 120%. The oil cooler and the enormous exhaust pipe make the GRiSO unique. One of the best motorbike design ever  | |

Euro cycles of Las Vegas shrink wrapped the docs and extra key to the seat. | |
