Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 8V (2007 - 2008)

The Moto Guzzi Griso 8V – a name that echoes the exploits of the fearless Griso, leader of the Bravi. This potent machine embodies the very essence of sporting spirit, infused with the raw power and innovative technology of its Quattrovalvole engine.

The 1200cc powerplant, featuring 563 brand-new components, unleashes 110 CV at 7,500 rpm, with maximum torque of 11 kgm at 6,400 rpm. Its silky smooth power delivery and effortless torque make it a joy to ride on the open road, where the bike’s true sports character shines.

From a design perspective, the Griso 8V has undergone a meticulous transformation, boasting a host of high-spec equipment, including Brembo P4/34 radial caliper brakes and Showa upside-down forks with 43 layers of carbon nitride treatment.

Riding the Griso 8V is an immersive experience, with its perfectly balanced ergonomics and adjustable handlebars, footpegs, and saddle providing an unparalleled sense of control and confidence.
