I’ve owned a Moto Guzzi Le Mans for 34 years and I’ll never part with it. It’s so easy to ride. The Griso is a lovely bike and if there was room in my garage there’d be one in there tomorrow. I’ve ridden one and I loved it.

[@colb9916]

Hold onto her mate. There isnt much about the Le Mans to not love. I rode across Australia on my 82 MK111 . Not realy ideal for that distance ride but i loved every minute of every day i rode her. Run good oils and regular changes, carb tunes along with valve set and they never miss a beat.

One of the things I admire about most Moto Guzzis is how they look pretty heavy but actually aren't.

My 1200 sport is 265Kg with fluids. That's not light.

[@allwheeldrive]

The Griso has always been one of the best looking made. The versions with the 8V motor are the best. Not even sure if they will continue this bike any longer, but would be perfect as a 2nd or 3rd bike. The flagship torch will be carried for Guzzi by the Mondello, which has a thoroughly updated, and now water-cooled, v-twin wrapped in a gorgeous, flowing design. Love these bikes.

[@BlackHeart_YouTube_Channel]

They finished to build them years ago..

[@leee3880]

I have a 00 v11 Sport, the green that it comes in is a little eye catching too.

Man, I've been wanting for someone to talk about the the Griso for ages. Even though they're not being built anymore. I own one, it's my forever bike. Been following SRK for a while now, this video really made my day! Thanks, Sean!!!

[@martincummins8528]

Thank you, for those words young man. This is the nicest bike i have ever owned, i did over 14.000 km all over this gorgeous Ireland of ours, last summer. You don't always have to be a hooligan you know, she's with you, whatever you decide, up and back, pure bliss. My girl is an 08 1200 8v. I had a Bandit1200n before that, been riding nearly 40years. This Griso though, is like nothing else, it's a participatory event. The most rewarding thing i've ever thrown my leg over 🙃.

[@literallyshaking8019]

That is a stunning motorcycle. The color combo is absolutely perfect

[@OzBloke]

The California name was introduced when the Moto Guzzi supplied motorcycles to the California Highway Patrol. 😎

[@lewsoltis5142]

I worked with Caleb at SRK to trade my 2014 Moto Guzzi California for a Road King two years ago because there were no local bike mechanics in Pittsburgh to service Moto Guzzis. Good news is that I bought the California on Ebay for $5,700---it was advertised at $9,000. Beautiful, powerful bike but nowhere to fix it locally when I had some minor mechanical issues. One Harley mechanic said: "I love the Guzzis but they are 'orphans' when it comes to time to service or sell them." I'd buy another one if I could find a place to service it.

I was riding my handsomely restored 1978 Honda GL-1000 (Blue w/ matching Vetter Windjammer) a few weeks ago across a bridge in Boerne, TX. Boerne is a very small sown west of San Antonio. So I'm cruising across the bridge on HWY 46 above IH-0 West, and coming the other way in the opposite lane was this same Moto Guzzi, same model, color etc. It was so cool to see those two bikes side by side, going in different directions. The MG was headed across the bridge into the small town of Boerne, and the GL was headed out into the hill country for 250 miles of speedy Sunday cruising. We nodded at each other and carried on. I loved that MG the way I loved the first GL I bought as a kid in 1979, a sulfur yellow '76. Some bikes are just born special, and the Griso and the Gen 1 Gold Wing are two of them.

[@josebelisario9669]

Love Guzzi's since I found out about them. Just acquired my dream bike a few months ago, California and it's everything I hoped it'd be. They ride as good as they look.

[@blazesboylan7947]

Thanks for weathering the cold to show us a truly beautiful bike. The Griso may be my new favorite Guzzi.

[@AMPSHOWS]

I owned that same color Griso for a couple years. Loved the attention when parked and enjoyed the ride vey much. Seat height was a bit tall. A bit top heavy, but great power/torque, considering the design limitations. I let it go and regret it.

[@philipburow9062]

Love the Griso in that color scheme.

[@williampoff3096]

Glad to see the test drives are still going!! When you sold your business, well, other than you and Jerry Palladino , there was no one else I really like to watch. Anyway , I'm a Harley guy, but I love all bikes. But I must confess the only Moto Guzzi I was ever around as a kid in the early 80s was owned by my dad's riding buddy. I can't even remember the brand of "Guzzi", but I do remember the rumble, similar to the Harleys I was around. Anyway, cool bike and keep the vids and the Scriptures coming!!

[@051570orion]

Sweet bike , I baught a 2003 California Stone Touring back in 2005 , love the Bike , enjoy riding it but it's been down for a while , I didn't know when I purchased it that there was a defect with the single disc clutch , and the dealership that sold it to me didn't let me know about it , it road and shifted fine at the time , if he would have told me I would have had them put a new clutch in , but by the time the clutch started having issues the dealership had went out of business . I talked to several places that sell parts and found them to be proud of their parts , I was told by one that the clutch would cost $1,600 then another said $1,700 and another in Ohio told me $5,000 . So the Bike has sat for quite a while , and everytime I came close to getting the money together , something always came up and I couldn't get it , then after giving up on it for a while because of financial issues , one day I started to look again , found one on eBay , for $865.00 got it shipped to my door for $895.00 finally found an honest dealer . Unfortunately I have yet to install it , with work and family it's just difficult to make the time to fix it , but last August I baught a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 out of necessity , but I really need to get my Bike back on the road because diesel fuel is kinda pricey .. my wife has tried to get me to sell it for years but I'm stubborn and not a quiter .. lol . Great video and God Bless , oh by the way my first Moto Guzzi was a 750 Breva , everyone thought it was a Buell , but it was a great Bike .

Great review and ride demo! Your video skill and camera setups are the best. Got a jolt seeing an ice strip in the road, yet that's your regular route and no problem. The 110 HP Griso w/4 valves per head looks like a dream. As long as there's no frame/motor vibration issues, a half fairing could be the deal maker for daylight touring.

[@danielburgess7785]

These bikes have spirit, bought my first in 1978-ish used. Got a ripping deal because at the time few people wanted Italian anything. Ran like a beast until a box made an illegal left into me. I was ok, the Guzzi was totaled.

@@jiltedjohn9294 I've bought not long ago a 2015 1200 8V SE Red Trophy Griso. Finally! I'm 5"11' (180cm) and I find it comfortable. Maybe I should adjust the brake lever downwards a bit, as I'm keeping my foot on it and never sure whether I'm stepping on the brake or not.

[@TerenceHughes4501]

Word of warning. There are two Griso models. The 1100 from 2005 is bomb proof and a safe buy. The 1200 8v version as featured here came out in 2007 and had major top end problems. They would fail catastrophically and it wasn't a question of if, but when. Same goes for the Stelvio and Norge with the same engine. Piaggio finally admitted the problem and issued flat tappet to rollers conversion kits free to customers with full service history and at cost to everyone else. Sadly by the time this happened it was too late for many bikes that already had metal fragments floating around in the oil from a fault in the hardening process. Even after the modification the damage may already have been done. If you buy one of these from late 2012 you are safe because they sorted it out. It took 5 years but better late than never. Most Internet resources provide good information about this issue and what to look out for, the best of which I think is Guzzitech. A great bike nevertheless.

[@TerenceHughes4501]

@@paultruesdale7680 That's not true. Many japanese bikes have had major issues that the manufacturers tried to cover up. In the 80s some Kawasaki's suffered carb icing that was responsible for killing some riders. Also in the 80s Honda V4's suffered catastrophic engine failures. So much so that they got nicknamed the Honda chocolate cam. You obviously haven't been riding long so I suggest you do some research before making such ignorant comments

[@paultruesdale7680]

Chill out WB. More than half a million miles on two wheels. Mostly on Yamahas. I know Honda had cam and crank issues on their V4s.

[@senaman]

used to own a completely original Griso 8v white version. The early ones had issues that were later resolved. It is the most beautiful bike I have owned and I doubt that I can get something prettier, specially at this price point. Interesting to note that even though I love it, it performed amazingly well on twysties but on longer runs on the motorway for example it became boring and actually quite unconfortable (for me at least). I have ridden other motorbikes like the V9 roamer, V85TT and V7 II, III and V850 and those were more refined. Still, it is a proper motorcycle, One of the greatest street bikes.
