Griso Question
« on: March 06, 2017, 09:07:36 PM »
There is a 2007 Griso for sale near me and I am a little lost on engine issues. Did these have tappet issues or any other problems that I don't want to deal with? I'm pretty good at picking out nice doughnuts but not so much Moto Guzzis. It looks to be a nice bike.

Only 8V-1200 motors produced between 2008 and mid 2012 have tappet and cam issues.

I own an '07 with close to 50,000 miles on it.  If I had room in my garage I'd make the 3,000 mile trip to pick it up.

Looking at it the only thing it may need is a new brake pads which are cheap.

Women have shoes in different colors why can't we do the same with Griso's?

Would you people stop talking about bikes you want to buy!  :thewife:

I'd crawl to Kansas City to get that bike.

Unless you're looking for a bike priced to "flip"(hope not),  you found a bike for life..

I had a 2007 Griso that I bought new in 2009.  It was flawless over the time I owned it.  It's a great bike.

No but I bet if you search the KC Craigslist you will find it.  :tongue:

Not like there are that many Guzzis for sale there.
