Post by: dl.allen on November 08, 2015, 07:56:18 PM: starting to research grisos. Looks like mid 2012 the roller tappets were installed.

Post by: dl.allen on November 08, 2015, 08:13:55 PM: the internet says something about graphics like black gauges and racing pegs?

I'm hoping for a dry enough day here soon to test ride one.

No idea what the go is with the pegs? They look the same as any other 8V Griso pegs to me.

Basically all the G8's are pretty much the same apart from wire wheels and a few detail differences up until this year when the engine got the 1400 sump, filter etc.

Factory would call it 'diavolo nero'
I suspect this years is called 'diavolo roso'

I'm pretty sure it's the paint scheme and not the frame.

Post by: boatdetective on November 10, 2015, 06:47:20 AM: I should point out that the term "Black devil" has been determined politically incorrect in the US of A and so is not used. It really doesn't matter what the original intent was.

sheesh :shocked:
