Im a bit tempted by one !
Tis a few years old so will be a 4 valve model.
Would I be disappointed with this after a free breathing Falco ?

They are nice.The two valve motor is very tourgy and won't have a top end rush. A friend who had a dealership preferred the two valve motor for touring. Even the 4 valve won't have the top end of a derestricted Falco but is quick enough to feel fast.

So only you can answer the question posed.

Ta ! Its massively overpriced so I don't think I will bother with a test ride.
I keep having electrical nightmares with the falc, thinking I must replace the old girl but...
seems nothing comes close, apart from a nuther Priller

A Gen 2 Tuono would be perfect

I've been tempted by one for some time, but if I got one it would replace the Kwack, not the Falco. I'm still thinking, as I've always liked Guzzi's, the Griso looks great and totally different from anything else, but looking at other things as well.
Currently looking at Triumph Sprint 1050 and BMW K1200S/1300S but having just put a new rear tyre, battery, chain and sprockets on the 9R I may keep a bit longer.

Found another Griso at a more sensible price, still pricey for a 6 year old low mileage when you consider a new special edition can be had for 10 grand, 5 grand is still a bit too much.
Very few second handers around though.
Fatboy now waits for pay negotiations to start, hoping he may be able to buy toys......not holding breath though

Must be a good sign that there are few secondhand ones avaialble - owners want to keep them?

I found myself looking at Guzzis a while back - idle dreams of an additional bike - but whilst recognising that beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... the Griso .... what an ugly machine that is!
I'm more drawn to the V11
