Not been on the site for far too long but have to confess I sold myMille and now am thinking about buying a Moto Guzzi Griso(dare I admit this on this site?)

Any advice on if there are any problems with the Griso?
I might just be tempted if someone is selling a Top notch falco though!!??
Happy Christmas!

Ah the rockin' Rev! Welcome back, long time no see

I know nothing of the Moto Guzzi, Im sure we do have at least one Guzzi fan kicking about the forums though.

I'm positive there'd be a decent Falco kicking about too or one of the mob will know of one. Dont miss a trick this lot...

A Happy Christmas to you too

Yeah - I hope there are a few that know a bit about them ..... otherwise I told him a big fat porky when I suggested he should get back on here and ask the knowledgeably massive.

(still if I'm wrong it serves him right for being a Leeds supporter .... which, no doubt, will get Nursie all excited)

Guzzis.. Hit n' miss. Steer clear of a brand new one as there's a 95% chance it won't be right. Maybe find one with a few miles on it that's had all the warranty faults sorted. The one's I've seen recently (at the NEC) the build quality wasn't brilliant and neither was the finish. A friend in Australia has had nothing but trouble with his. Personally, I wouldn't touch one with Petes.

Can't really comment on the new ones. I had a 1990 one and it had.

Bulletproof mechanicals.
Good suspension and brakes
Good electrical parts (bosch mostly)
Good quality ally
Really crap wiring and paint

Always liked the idea of owning one, form the original Le Mans to the Griso.
It's just a nice big Italian V/Twin with lots of character that's pretty unique, (can't think why I like 'em ).
Don't really know any close mates who have had one.
It sounds a good idea to me, try one.

I looked at a Griso a while bike. I think it's a really nice bike aesthetically, and rides quite nice too. My only gripe was the side stand. It's a bit of a stretch to get the thing up, bloody pain springs to mind.
