2007 Moto Guzzi Griso 1100

In the last 10 months I have done 10,000 km. No problems what-so-ever and a joy to ride every day. The most beautiful and SEXY bike. Built with the curves in all the right places. Stand behind one and you will see for yourself.

Do not get this bike if you are an introvert. You WILL ... draw attention. Ideal if you want a big-bore, v-twin with shaft drive. This is NOT a superbike, but a SUPER BIKE in all aspects.

Since buying my Griso in May of 2008 as a new 07 it's been nothing but trouble! Where should I begin? First,the header pipes were replaced within a month because of a defective finish. By August it had developed an oil leak from under the valve cover gaskets; they were replaced. The dealer tried ... to assure me that it was common for the bike use nearly 2 quarts of oil in less than 5,000 miles.Then he told me it could take as long as 18-20,000 miles to seat the rings! While the valve covers were being replaced,the dealer replaced the feul pump as part of a recall. while doing the work they damaged the gas tank;another tank was ordered. The new one came in with blinishes in the finish. Yet another one was ordered and eventually replaced,again!Next and most recently in March of this year,the dash cluster begain to go out. it's at the dealer as I'm typing this. All that's not to mention the 6'000 mile valve adjustment that's a 3-4hour labor job plus a near 200 dollar oil change with 16 dollar a quart synthetic oil. If this sounds like the bike that you want;good luck! P.S. My bike only has 8,000 miles.Most of those are from going back and forth to the most dishonest dealer I've ever encountered anywhere,which happens to be 120 miles one way.
