Description:

Moto Guzzi Griso 8V SE – Test Ride. It is not simply a historic brand, Moto Guzzi has a way of understanding and shaping the bike riders who became history: Moto Guzzi is the philosophy of uncompromising riders capable of forming true, than the Pirsig , author of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.”


The philosophy that goes for more, but to Guzzi therefore, is how much this bike can be cut for my needs? I mean, who buys a motorcycle often, perhaps rightly, makes his remarks from a sheet, consider how many horses you have and how many laps otenga maximum torque, which is the distance or even if there are factors such as bags travel, if it is available in distinctive colors and so on. Guzzi makes it an almost artistic question: once produced beautiful specimens, and with a personality so strong as to obscure all other bikes nearby, or there falls in love or anything, but once in love with the Moto Guzzi is not going to look too much technical or if the riding position is right or not: so if the location is inconvenient, it will be to reach out to the Moto Guzzi motorcycle, learn it and not the other, precisely as is always done.

Given this important premise we are faced with the most beautiful bike of Mandello: immediately hits the tank, large and imposing in this special green color above the heads of the engine, the big black heart extends to the rear of the drive shaft Guzzi latest design in the home, while only 800mm from the ground, above the huge cannon which is also the pot, there is the elegant brown saddle. Beautiful spoked wheels, massive inverted forks adjustable 43mm Brembo radial calipers and reliable.

The instrumentation is nothing short of amazing: a very bright display and very well designed to read all data in all light conditions, without distraction or, as sometimes happens, without being forced to cast a shadow on the dashboard to see what it says.
