Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 8VS.E.Black Devil (2012)

The new Moto Guzzi Griso 8VS.E.Black Devil is a non-conformist masterpiece, born from the perfect blend of style, power, and handling. Its “matt black” look is interrupted by a striking silver graphic pattern, creating a beam of light that extends from the tank to the lateral ducts, giving it an aggressive and modern appearance.

Equipped with the transverse 90° V-twin engine, producing 110 HP at 7,500 rpm, the Griso 8V SE delivers velvety yet powerful road performance, showcasing the exceptional prowess of its chassis. The twin spar frame, made of high-strength steel, provides an exceptionally high level of torsional rigidity, while the calculated geometry ensures stability and precise handling.

The Griso 8V SE’s riding experience is nothing short of thrilling, with its low centre of gravity and rock-solid front end making it surprisingly maneuverable and genuinely fast. Its immediate and precise response to handlebar pressure is a testament to its exceptional engineering. Experience the ultimate in naked motorcycle riding with the Moto Guzzi Griso 8VS.E.Black Devil, a true scalpel of the road.
