Moto Guzzi Griso 8V SE: Naked sportsbike royalty or just a bad tempered Latin? | Snag | INFO MOTO

[@scipio1010]

The sound of the engine is insane!!! I can't stop listening to it.

[@wannesengelen6317]

I had one of these (Griso 8v se Tenni), loved it to bits. After riding it for 3 years (2010-13) and putting about 40k km on it I sold it because someone gave me a very good price on it (1.5K€ off new price)... always regretted selling it (after). Didn't ride for a while but now living in the mountains looking again at bikes...mmm maybe a v100 mandello in the same tenni green will do the trick ;-) Love the montage.

[@supraboy33]

I love the look of the griso it's got a style & character all of its own 👍🏻

[@JosephWheels]

Thanks for the content. I bought a new 2017 Black Devil three seasons ago, what a bike! The dealer wouldn't budge on the price, worth every dollar. The GRiSO is a joy to ride.

[@RideWithRen]

I have the Breva 1100, the more mild mannered (just barely) sister to the Griso, and it's a blast to ride. A bike that begs to be ridden every day, it's pure magic on wheels.

[@BlackHeart_YouTube_Channel]

This is probably the best and most motorcycle ever made.

[@lyndonp3391]

Had the chance to buy one of these 5 year old at the time very low mileage mint condition but dealer wouldn't budge on price. Still kicking myself i didn't go for it! Wonderful looking bike.

[@joloevaa]

I got one of these. The 1200 SE version. Tenni color is nice. I love the original sound from the big muffler. I will keep my muffler original. However, it's Le Mans in my garage is a little..

[@woeihwang]

Used to own a 1979 V50. Love it very much…

[@Deetroiter]

That Griso sounds bad to the bone! I have a V7 Classic and V7iii Milano. The thing I’ve noticed with Guzzis is they most all have a casual, fun feeling riding experience to them…but once you twist the throttle, you can fully feel the racing heritage that Moto Guzzi has. I’ve felt it in every Guzzi I’ve ever ridden. Not the fastest, not the most technological, etc…but it’s absolutely up there with the most engaging with the senses. There is just something about the bikes that are difficult to put into words. The sound, the feel, etc are truly one of a kind. Stylish, sexy, and runs on premium grade masculinity. Italian to its core. There’s things that Italians are willing to compromise, but the sound, style, and riding experience are a few things the Italians will never compromise on. 👍

I returned to biking last year and after much deliberation bought a BMWR1250R and it is a great bike, easy to ride, and very powerful with a lot of low down grunt. Being a personal thing, I don't like fairings, as they take the 'bikiness; feel away, having ridden Triumphs and naked Hondas in the past. I seriously considered a Moto Guzzi (my sort of bike), but there are so few dealerships in Norfolk. However it has to be said the Griso is a gorgeous looking motorbike, a true bike, and I am sure it would not only be reliable, but easy to ride, and give much pleasure. Thank you for this review.

[@kneeslider47]

Mine was pretty reliable but they absolutely need top notch batteries and a starter relay bypass system fitted to achieve it. Gorgeous looking bike though, with rock solid, slightly heavy handling

[@garywalsh8715]

Just bought one of these - it’s a future classic

[@stevesanelli90]

Bravo Snag! Feeling Italian 🇮🇹✅

[@ErgonBill]

Grouse! Now that's a term I haven't heard for a long time, but describes the bike well. You don't fall in love with hp/ torque alone, you fall in love with overall character.

[@williamfischer3990]

Moto Guzzi needs to make another version of this bike using the Mandello engine. They just scream Italia, i just love it.

[@mrsilbo6499]

I agree with you wholeheartedly! That's why I bought one at the start of April. A low mileage absolute minter. I'm done with UJMs & want style, reasonable performance & exclusivity. Not my first Guzzi either, so I expect to enjoy the Italian bike ownership experience too. 😉

[@markmcintosh7095]

You have a very beautiful bike. I have the Stone and a v85tt. I would get one like yours but I'm getting the new model coming soon.

[@jorgeson3586]

That sound is the best

[@jouharii]

anyone knows what make/model of mirrors are those?

[@johnbiggins4864]

Yes it would be my pick as well

[@Spargowombat]

Good vid, thanks. Great sound. A modern version of my Commando and Ducati GT. Love my Stelvio; may need a pipe!

[@Brgnalf81]

That's why I always choose italian bikes.

[@evemariedumais1461]

Luv Italian motorcycles and cars. I find it sounds like my R Nine T.

[@banzobeans]

Whats with those fugly new control panels?

[@984francis]

I've never found a Moto Guzzi hard to get along with, quite the opposite.

[@kneeslider47]

I like Aussie reviews, they seem to ramble on less than Brits (and I am a Brit!) This makes me miss my 1100 Griso, if not the riding position. I found it hurt my thighs / lower back after long runs but then I’m quite tall, not a 5’ 6” Italian jockey

[@lamilumag]

Greetings from Belgium. Gat Breva 1200 2010. 💖 it everyday more.

[@edwardvanderende8892]

Again here great Aussi way to do review on bike. I love f------ Guzzi

[@robsthedon]

Seems you can buy it tho.

[@TheEcoas]

Is that a Speedmaster on your wrist?

[@Ed-vi4rx]

It is.

[@keltecdan]

It’s a replica. Not a very good one. I used to have the moon watch back in the day which I foolishly sold. I currently have a seamaster chronograph 300m and speedmaster x-33.

[@superkulak]

"Quattro valvole" actually means "four valves" ;)

[@68404]

Yes, his Italian attempts are appalling.

[@rinkadink66]

hi, I have had my Griso for 4 years... beautiful bike, superb engine, really well made and finished.. however.. no abs.. and and slow speed handling on twisty roads (alpine passes etc) hopeless.. the combination of a long wheelbase, acute steering and the heavy engine partially outside the center of balance (and high up) is something that takes time to get used too.. I love this bike, but its definitely flawed.. cheers

[@tonycombo]

What year is this bike? I love it.

[@amk5198]

2011

[@danrosello9643]

This not transverse motor but longitudinal engine. Cheers

[@amk5198]

2011

[@hlaw2830]

This is one of the few bikes that ISN'T transverse.

[@chriswilson5111]

The vee angle transverses or crosses the bikes centre line whereas the crank runs along it or is longitudinal.

[@hlaw2830]

@@chriswilson5111 And it's the crank which matters. A V8 Mustang and a I6 BMW M3 are both inline. A V6 Alfa 147 and an I4 Civic are both transverse.

[@chriswilson5111]

And yet without exception, every single description has shown what matters most with an exposed Vee engine is the included angle and its orientation. The factory, every journalist and owner will immediately refer to what is most prominent not what is most hidden. Strange world, isn't it?

[@hlaw2830]

@@chriswilson5111 Quite a few people seem to make that argument about Moto Guzzi, but no one makes it about BMW, because everyone knows that engine is longitudinal, so... this might just be a product of reading Wikipedia instead of turning a wrench, lol.

[@chriswilson5111]

@@hlaw2830 So, what happens if you consider a flat twin with a vertical crank such as in old lawn mowers? Relying on crank orientation, to me, seems secondary. Nice talking to you.
