It's an often overlooked but brilliant platform.  I had my choice of test rides from Aprilia and Guzzi last weekend but didn't show up.  I reserved the Tuono and Stornello but realized that I had a bike that worked better as a do it all machine than those plus has soft luggage now.  I'd love to see it offered with abs and cast wheels plus all of the variations like the V7's have.

I was really trolling for some of Roper’s creative writing skills 😄 but it is a bad ass looking machine.

I was waiting for that too. guess I'll just say, Meh..

I'd have used a big old 8" round headlight,    semi drag handlebars and a rear hugger fender.

It’s my opinion that none of the CARC platforms lend themselves to that sort of *Look*.

I think he needs more welds on the headers...

That's pretty.

The Griso is the one bike that I have to actively prevent myself from thinking about. I've been dreaming about one for years now.

Old enough to say I've done it, young enough to do it again.

Same here, I prefer the non-butchered version with those smooth Italian lines.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like there are a dozen welds to form up a foot of straight piping.

I imagine that Griso would be admired by the people in its maker's target group, but what do I know?

I think that it look awesome. I ride a Ducati Monster and I am a big fan of naked muscle bikes. And that looks a like a lot more muscle than a stock Griso ever had. I love the spokes on the SS swingarm and the tail looks great. Not sure what that gold circle is under the tank. I like the shape of the pipe, but it looks like they were trying a little too much on it with all the segments. Who knows, maybe looking at it at a different angle, they have it hugging the motor and that is the reason for all the welds.

Nice to see the local school for the blind branching out and trying new projects.
