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.

In his honor, I was inspired into creating an infusion of appropriately colored strawberries and vodka. I will let you know how that turns out in about a week and then you can drop by for GRiSO cocktail.

The pillion saddle mod looks a bit crude Wink

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. cheers

I do likes me a Red GRiSO!

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. Smile

Don't use your gender bias to label GRiSO! Why can't GRiSO just be GRiSO? Sad

I'd like to tick "other", but I can't think of what "other" could be... scratch

It is il. He. Just as the brutish henchman from i Promisi Sposi.

Also is usually I who end up in the garage, not the girls in this family.

No matter which gender your GRiSO is, congratulations grisotx. Enjoy your Ride on your GRiSO Thumbs Up

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!

Don Abbondio Posts : 4 Join date : 2016-05-24

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

GRiSO Capo Posts : 252 Join date : 2014-04-23

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 cheers

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... Very Happy

GRiSO Capo Posts : 464 Join date : 2018-10-04 Age : 57

Yes. Agreed also 120%.

The oil cooler and the enormous exhaust pipe make the GRiSO unique. Very Happy

One of the best motorbike design ever bounce

Welcome to the Ghetto, Tex! I love the asymmetry of the GRiSO: the big shotgun exhaust, the Carc drive, the oil cooler...'tis a thing of beauty.

I like your GRiSO.
I like your booze.
Why is your GRiSO wearing a nappy? (Diaper) on the pillion seat?

GRiSO Capo Posts : 32 Join date : 2019-01-30 Age : 51

Shipping diaper.

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

1200 sport with GRiSO exhaust and stand
