New to me, Griso 1100
« on: January 18, 2026, 02:02:57 AM »
I just picked this up from my buddy who does paintwork ( he's painted both of my long term projects). What a peach of a bike!

It's nice to buy something that is already done instead of another project. I have a couple of little things to take care of like cracked turn signal stems and a foggy dash. Fun bike!

Best of luck with your new ride!

Congrats, The 1100 Griso is a great bike, one of my all time favorites.

10 years ago, I sold my FJR1300 and haven't looked back. I have a Convert, but the GRiSO converted ME....

Other than a Beetle Map, lowered foot pegs, mana bars, and an Agostini hydroformed pipe, it is stock, and still great fun to ride.

It is great fun. I'm enjoying everything about the Griso. I found the registration for the original owner under the seat. Kevin Shoemaker of southern California owned it from 2007 - August 2025. I've tracked hm down, maybe he'll be interested in a chat. Other than the cool looking Agostini pipe and open airbox, I assume it's stock with some sort of map. It runs great and I'm getting 35mpg.

It looks like one of GTM's covers for open airbox, may have one of his maps.
