Haven't had time to watch it yet... Love SRK Cycle's vids though. Their enthusiasm is contagious. And Sean always likes Moto Guzzi from what I've seen.

Nice little vid.
He dotes on the asymmetry of GRiSO though only points out one example.
There are several, and all add up to make this bike unique among others.
Not for everyone, even among fellow Guzzisti, but that's o.k.
The roll-on experience sells me on the bike each time I take it out, all the while the stock exhaust making glorious sounds.
After 38k miles this has been the most reliable out of the 5 new bike purchases I've made over the years. The ultimate "day tripper" though it gobbled up the 1,400 mile trip I took on it with aplomb. Lots of clean air at higher speeds and that corbin seat deserves some credit.
I guess it's all you could ask in a bike -to put smiles on your face when you take it for a spin. This bike does it for me.

The Griso is such a hairy chested, beastly, work of art. I wish I would have gotten mine when I was 45 instead of now at 65.... :wink:
My 2017 "Black Devil" is almost too good a motorcycle, there is nothing to improve! :thumb: :grin:
Rick.

I thought he got out of the motorcycle biz a few months ago??

I've seen a few of his videos, and though I generally like them, he is often way off on some of his facts. I.E. Calling the Norge an ADV bike. That would be the Stelvio.
But that said, I think he picked the best of Guzzi's recentish models as an Ambassador (see what I did there...lol). It was the Griso that Converted me to the Guzzi world. From the initial gangle of the double clutch when I pulled it in to put in gear to the first 500 feet of riding I exclaimed into my helmet "How the #e!! did did it take me 35 years of riding to finally ride one of these" Going on 7 years later, I am still in love with my Griso.

Think that's just his shtick - to shoot from the hip without a whole lot of concern for accuracy. The videos do help me get a general feeling for the sound and ergonomics of motorcycles I wouldn't have otherwise noticed... and damn, that Griso. Perhaps my Stornello needs a big brother.
