The Sunday Ride #2 - Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 8V SE First Impressions 

Best Griso review ever. This bike made me fall in love with Moto Guzzi, and I envy those like you who get to ride it often. Can't wait to get my own Griso too.

Probably the best motorcycle ever made.

I've got 2012 Griso 1200 8V and everytime I ride it I smile like a small boy. Every ride I am thinking that Griso is everything I want and need from a motorcycle and I don't understand, why other manufactures try to make a bike. I did 5000 kms this season and everytime on this beast my soul is satisfied. Enjoy your Griso and safe ride all the time.

I just took my 2016 model on a nine day 2000 mile trip across northern France, the Swiss Alps and down to the Guzzi factory at Lake Como in Italy and then back up through France to home in the UK. It didn’t miss a beat. Needed to make quite a few stops for fuel though. Tiny tank and a bit thirsty. A great bike.

This is my absolute dream motorcycle!! I ride triumph scrambler 900cc , I have the ducati scrambler 803cc,and of course the speed twin 1200 ,but they stay in the garage now because i am less than 3 days from receiving my Griso 1200 in matte green and matte black, I literally have not been able to sleep a full night since I ordered it and learned that it was now on it's way to my house. This suspense is just killing me 😂

Great video and perspectives...took the words right out of my mouth. I love my Griso and can't imagine myself on anything else! People who've never ridden one really ought to do themselves a favor and take one for a spin.

excellent review. Have owned this bike for 9+ years, my 2nd bike after a small Honda, and not planning to sell any time soon - love it

It was my dream since 2005.... I bought my Red one six months ago and it's absolutely Amazing... Simply love it.... 😊😊🤙🏻🤙🏻🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️

Hi Scott and thank you so much for this great review. Also here in Italy there are not many Griso and, of course, they are getting rarer and rarer. I used to have the 1100 and then passed to the black and grey 1200 SE: I rode them in Mandello when they were first presented and simply could not wait to own them. You have already said all that was worth saying, I just want to endorse your statement about it not being a bike for everybody as most people follow the mass: that is absolutely true and really makes it a problem for such incredible manufacturers as Guzzi and Aprilia, which sell one-of-a-kind motorcycles that not enough people buy. That is a shame and I sometimes think that we do not deserve such jewels. I also think that Griso is destined to gain some value in future as these bikes are very much sought-after. Once more, wonderful review!

Griso from 'Promessi sposi': He is the head of the good of Don Rodrigo and his story is full of criminal violence, which went unpunished for the protection of the noble master. A rough character, but who in his roughness does not lack cunning, practical skills, so much so that his master he entrusts him with delicate assignments and commissions risky undertakings, such as that of kidnapping Lucia in the first part of the novel.

Very goog video, congratulations. I agree with you 100%, this is an incredible machine. It has something special that others bikes doesn’t have. I have owned BMW’s Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, Kawasaki and Honda and this bike is diferent, I am totally in love with it, too. V’s.

Great video. Today I was at a dealership, and I saw a griso for the first time in my life,. Well here I am, can't stop thinking of how beautiful it was and wanting to know all I can about it

Couldn’t agree with you more!!! I liked motorcycling before I bought my 2016 Griso but this bike brought to me a whole new level of passion for motorcycling.

Dude, I love the way you’ve made this. It’s exquisite! Great work, and you’ve definitely helped me make my mind up on my next bike. 👍🏻

100/100 for your review, I own a 2008 Griso so I know how right you are. Extra points for your voice delivery. Griso puts the "V" back into visceral!

Nice work with this video mate. Griso 1100 owner here, love mine as well. Bought in the UK and ridden back to Italy, it now gets used mostly around Lake Como. A wonderful blunt (yet beautiful) instrument!

Great review love your enthusiasm from a fellow Griso rider in the UK

I am in love with the look of the griso, your review is excellent and I will try to make a test drive, if the current situation allows it.

Very cool video! I just purchased a new 2017. Should be here in a couple weeks. Can't wait. Ride safe!

Something about what Moto Guzzi does that keeps them reliable. They were the antitheses of what everyone considered Italian bikes to be, constant breakdown machines. The other Italian machines are getting much better with reliability now, but still more expensive. Time to take a look at the new V85TT.

This is such a great video. Well done sir! The Moto guzzi griso is a beauty, enjoy it!

Commento finale degno di questa moto fantastica, complimenti anche per questo video..!!

Beautiful countryside wherever this was filmed.

one of the most under rated roadsters ever, I went on to own a California custom which suits me better, but Griso was my second all time favourite.

I've got 3 Motoguzzis a stone and a v85tt. They are extremely fun to ride. Other bikes are faster and handle better but none are more fun.

Absolutely a beautiful bike!

nice review, full of passion

Fantastic!

Thanks for the video ! Do you still ride on it today ?

Nice bike and great presentation. Btw, wish camera and mic are you using? Thanks for sharing and i hope we can see more about your motoscycle exprerience with the guzzi and others. You seen the guy Loving great bikes 😀👍👊

The Griso scared that poor deer at 2:26 :) Luckily it took of the other way.

Amen to that

Great review. Man and Machine.

Theres one for sale around the corner from me. Not sure of the asking price yet though.

Holy shit that thing is beautiful in red

The only bike I'd exchange my Guzzi V11 with. ...hmmm, that yummy CARC shaft drive 😋

I sold my Guzzi, because the after sales and technical service was bad In a capital. ( Madrid . Spain) Got myself a HD With three dealerships and perfect technical service.

superbe moto rare en plus ce qui fait son charme on en voit pas atout les coins de rues

I think I am about to pull the trigger on a 2017.

Springs around the corner, time for something different then everyone else

Is this beast going to get me to my Italian ultra?

To bad those aren't chromed spoke wheels. Would really set that bike off nicely along with some louder pipes.

just got a 12 plate in Tenni green smiles all the way

I have an Ultra Classic that I adore.. But THIS! THIS BIKE is SPECTACULAR! Question for you.. How is it two up? I have a significant other who I love to take with me.. the Classic is like riding a sofa, but I'm thrilled that this bike is ZERO technology (no ABS, GTraction Control Etc..) So nice to actually RIDXE a motorcycle.. Thank you for an excellent review..

Could this be a first bike? I don’t really like the design of any Guzzi except this one

Now there's a motorcycle that looks like it runs.....its in balance with itself ;)
