Took a Griso 1200 8v out for a twenty mile toodle today while waiting on a tire change at my Aprilia/Guzzi/Triumph dealer.  

Sweet bike, the new mill transforms it into something special in every aspect, rather than being just a good looking bike with character that the old 4v was. My dealer hardly ever sells current model year Guzzis, most get sold a year or two after when there's factory money to lower the price, but the new Griso is good enough that it can almost justify its $17k CAD sticker.

Always wanted one and now I have it.  Just have to get it this week.  Here's a pic.  I guess I'm old enough now.

I did buy one and love it!  Inlove
I will look at the Norge and Stelvio probably late next year as a second ride. We'll see how the checkbook holds up during the next year...

With the aftermarket pipe, and a different set of handlebars, I'll give the Breva a definite maybe!

 Dood, interesting bike. Did you customize it yourself, or was it all f*cked up when you bought it?

That's the Breva Sport, usually just called the Sport 1200 in the US.  The regular Breva is a lot more pedestrian.

Moderators, please cancel this poll.

The recent spate of Guzzi purchases has shown that this data is flawed  

People go out to buy a quart of milk and come back with a Guzzi   Confused

I'll have to devise a different poll.

I bought a old  MG 1100 Sport, not the fastest, best handling, or best anything, BUT I have a grin ear to ear every time I ride it!   If there was a dealer network I can see a 2013 Stelvio in my garage.   MG is a classic that is "going out of business, for the last 90+ years"  Guess a lot of folks lust in the dark!

I have more of a chance of buying a Moto Guzzi than dating a Brazilian supermodel (are there male Brazilian supermodels? And who are not gay?) Shrug

Definitely more practical.  Bigsmile

I voted for dating a Brazilian Supermodel because it has nothing to do with owning a Moto Guzzi.

+1 to NFW.

I'd love to have a V11 sport or Griso in the garage. My roommate has a Norge and I've ridden it and I like it.. it's just too damn big. Sadly I'm more likely to buy a MTS 1200 because none of the Guzzi's like are practical enough (or are too huge) for being my primary vehicle. Maybe one day when I'm old enough to have discretionary funds I'll try one!
Until thing it will probably be Apes and Ducs though the new KTM Adventure is pretty neat too...

I am seriously considering a Norge as my touring ride, or a Griso as my day rider if I stick with the Multi for my long rides. Maybe even the V7 Stone as my day rider.

I voted Brazilian Supermodel since I've already got the Gentleman's Express®.

All it needs are lower, rubber footpegs and a real horn to be perfect.
