Probably a Griso SE. Wink

Congrats those Z8's are supposed to be great tires.  I'd like to try a set.


Just put a set on both of my bikes.  Being winter and all haven't really had a chance to put them through their paces but my other metzlers were great.  Thinking these will be the same and then some Bigok

Funny thing is all the magazine test bikes came with Pirelli Scorpion 'dual sport-ish' tyres.
Which even they mentioned was kinda weird.

Customer bikes come with regular tyres, albeit German (yeah I know Pirelli and meztler are under the same company   Wink   ), so it seems that Guzzi got a deal on some tyres that happened to be the right size, didn't care cuz they were going on test fleet bikes, and saved the 'good' ones for customers.

p.s. thanks everyone!  This is going to be fun.

It's actually tall.  I wear length 32 inch pants and I can just flat foot it.
But I have not fiddled with the suspension yet.  It is a little stiff for my manly 150lbs, but also it needs some miles on it to settle/break in.

What blows is they gave it to me w/ an empty gas tank...  I picked it up just as they closed, and only noticed it as I left..
But they did put a battery tender cable on it, so I figure that made it even.
