For all it's fancy suspension the Griso handles no better than any other CARC bike unless you fit a Stelvio shock then it comes to life.
I have ridden most of the CARC range both 2v and 8v and it really is horses for courses.
I would disagree a good bit with this statement as it is here. I�ve owned a small tank Stelvio and a 2V Norge. And the Griso I have now is actually my 2nd 8V G. IMHO, there is a great bit of difference in how these handle per se. Yes, on a road with big swooping curves and such, not much difference but as the road tightens, a good bit of difference I�d say. I rode each of these bikes differently because of that difference. The Norge was a wind cutting super tanker. If you�re going to California and back, it seems like the bike to take. It was more nimble to the RT I once rode, but the Stelvio was better in tighter stuff. For what it is, the Stelvio is a good handler and surprising but it ain�t no supermoto and the Griso is much easier to get to left or right in tight stuff.
I would also add that I think there is some truth to what Pete was saying earlier as per maps. I�m not positive they are different but the �15 Griso I once owned seemed to have a more linear power delivery than my �09 bike now. I didn�t get myself in as much trouble with it.
