Love my Griso too. Wokingham and surrounding areas, nice. I take mine into Wales given every opportunity They are so stable on bumpy roads and corners Great Vid 👍
@@TYPE1media You are right, of course. Now I am happy with my Stelvio. Unfortunately both, Griso and Stelvio, are very rare on the Swiss market now. We must cherish our treasures.
Ciao.. Non sapevo che sei italiano..adesso ho una Yamaha ma sono pronto per comprare la moto di mie sogni. Moto Guzzi.. Voglio un Griso.. Ma qui in Australia sono difficile per trovare. V9bobber o sport.. Ma mio cuore e per il Griso. La tua e una bestia.. Se non trovò un Griso qui devo scegliere un altra Guzzi.. Ma Guzzi per vita!!!!
@@TYPE1media I know.. Its my dream bike.. I look every day for one here.. I don't know why they stopped manufacturing them. I'm worried if I get another guzzi then I will find a griso for sale. I want a griso
I know that this video is 3 years old, but I'm just now thinking of getting a Griso. I LOVE the sound of your exhaust! There are many after market exhaust systems available, but I'd love to know what type of system you're running. Thanks, Greg.
Hey Greg no worries at all.. to be honest this was a cheap Chinese stubby can that I got on eBay, I don’t remember the brand but they’re all the pretty much the same, problem is they lasted me a year each I had 2 and was running them together with a Beetle Map to avoid too much pinging and backfiring. I’m back to stock now.. engine runs much smoother.. obviously it’s a stock sound but… Guzzi 😉 sounds nice regardless
That Griso of yours sounds like it means business.. Very envious. I've yet to see one. I live at the western end of the Pyrenees and it would be ideal for blatting up those mountain passes. Would you say there would be enough room for a 6'2" rider? (Looks like Henley?)
Nice vid - love the sound - good riding - done advanced? Lived around Henley for the last 40 years so recognise all the roads! Am seriously looking at getting one of these - any tips would be appreciated.
Charles Kay Thank you very much! I’ve never done Advanced but I always tried to train myself online about “biker police” style riding and always trying to think 20 steps ahead.. what would you like to know about the Griso? :)
@@TYPE1media Sounds like someone was looking at my videos :D I ran it open pipe for a weekend once, for laughs. It doesn't like that. I'm currently running it on one of those Termi slip-ons from the accessories catalog. Sounds good. I suspect it still flows a little too much, but it's not bad.
Iulian Joghiu thanks... definitely buy one.. Make sure you buy a late 1200 so you are sure that the heads have been rollerised... the old version of the engine had issues that need a conversion kit in order to prevent damaging the engine... just make sure the engine have been ‘rollerised’ or it’s the updated version... 🙂✌🏼
I flashed the ECU with a different map to run on open pipe.. I have a video called riding it like I stole it if you want more ‘sporty’ riding.. that one is on the stock exhaust due to Italian police being hotter on non standard exhausts.
@@TYPE1media - it's not just old men, imo school run mums are the worst, kids screaming in terror in the back as she texts her mates about the kids driving her nuts. If the front wheel on the car is not turning, the car is not moving.
218johnny50 sync in post, as I have an external battery pack in the GoPro and no way of connecting the mic straight into GoPro, as you can see at the start I clap my hands, that makes it quick and easy to line up in post
@@TYPE1media - If the Zoom has a camera mount screw hole , you can clamp a PCM (generic audio recorder) to the grab rail or something, It will want a wind shield, dead kitten, or something. A PCM recorder should be able to take a Rode mic. A dog clicker makes a better synch spike than a hand clap, but then the GoPro and the PCM can run at different clock speeds, so another synch at the end and stretch the sound to fit, before edit cuts.
I've owned 3, (Have two currently) an 08 1200 Sport, a MGX-21 and a Griso, Moto Guzzis are agricultural in their nature, they are really overbuilt and essentially a modernized machine from the 70s. Because of this, they are quite reliable IF you keep up to the maintenance schedule. That should not scare you though as the maintenance is super easy and you could probably do all of it with duck tape and curse words. The only problem is Fit and Finish I've found, and by that I mean when you purchase a new one make sure bolts are tightened down, some will try and tell you "WELL ITS ITALIAN" and the reality was that once upon a time Guzzis were hand built using electrical parts from mid-Seventies to mid Eighties Fiat cars. Let that sink in for a moment ;) The late Sixties and early Seventies bikes used Bosch (VW Bug) parts and were quite robust. Nowadays the bikes are assembled in Italy but the parts are sometimes made elsewhere. My Griso has a Showa front end, Marchesini Wheels, Brembo brakes, Hitachi generator and a Valeo starter. I bet the can-bus wiring harness is made somewhere in the Far East. Since the mid 2000's I would say Guzzis have been as reliable as any other modern bike. Often because the components have seen service on other makes before being adopted by Guzzi.
Reduxalicious couldn’t had it described better myself, only issues I had is indeed with the bolts (are they made of butter?) and the rpm sensor which is a cheap magneti Marelli part, where do you live mate? Would be nice to catch up for a ride someday
Sorry to go against the majority of opinions here but I have removed the GPR exhaust from my Guzzi 1200 sport (2 valve) and put the original back on..Why! Because I can assure you after 40 minutes of similar spirited riding your head will feel like a jack hammer and the constant drone on a days ride out will drive you nuts ...Just my opinion..drive safe.
Hi there, the can is a Chinese shorty from eBay, it’s basically a straight pipe. If I’m not wrong the cat section it’s in the stock can, so it’s DeCat indeed!
@@MrJIMBOISAWESOME to be honest most of the little issues I had is because I’ve been messing about with the bike. Just make sure you get the ‘rollerised’ engine as the early versions had issues with the valves distribution. If you keep up with the general maintenance is like an agricultural tractor, it won’t let you down 👍🏼
@@TYPE1media One decade before they had great machines. Norge, griso, stelvio. Powerful and charismatic bikes. But now the sport element and the interest for creativity is absent. Only a retro thing and a marketing obsession with the past. But I remember the Guzzis's past was way more exciting!
@@TYPE1media Yeah, me too. It seems they don't try anymore. I own a stelvio. A bike that came out ten years before the v85 and I guess it is better almost anywhere. Yeah my friend I really do like the griso!
