I wonder how much more he would have liked it if he had taken the revs above 5000 before shifting...

Typical "Harley Guy", used to short shifting. Quickly compared it to a Sportster, and felt his street glide was faster.... Pleeasee!That Griso needs some revs to impress!

He liked it, but he's also trying to sell it.

Those guys had to Google "Moto Guzzi" to even know what it was.  :rolleyes:

Shawn is my BMW mechanic and is one of the top Spyder mechanics in the US. He has been wrenching on bikes forever and is one of the reasons that Pro Caliber got the BMW franchise.

Just couldn't watch the whole video, hard to watch someone ride a Griso like it was a Harley. At one point he was doing 35 mph and only showed 1000 rpms, That's Griso abuse.

Dunno 'bout y'all, but the opening bit up to about 50 seconds, reminded me of a poorly done porno where he "finds" a willing homely participant on the street for a "casting" session...
Maybe I'm just a bit old fashioned..?
Still don't know what all the fuss about these "Moto Gootsee Greaso's" is based on, what do they actually "do" that deserves such unbridalled adulation ?
Is it just 'cos everyone else says it ?
I had a ride on one in the UK, and it felt like a Massey Ferguson tractor he'd stolen from a field days.
The worst bit was I had to let him on my Norge, I regretted it the moment he let out the clutch. After the ride he asked me what I thought..
Didn't want to say it felt like a bucket of pus with no suspension and poxy ergonomics, so I told him the Silver/Blue colour looked pretty...
