That is a very very nice bike. Takes a lot for me to comment on a reworked Griso, but this has it.

I think it looks great :thumbsup: Those clip ons look pretty low..reminds me of the Ducati retro sports bikes they made a few years ago. They looked great but I wouldnt want to ride them more than an hour.

Unless you cut the steering head and re-weld it back on at a more reasonable angle (24 or so degrees) along with changing the offset to maintain trail at around 100mm then it is just a cosmetic dress up on a bike that does not need cosmetic help. It needs less weight and more rake.

... and less rake.


There, fixed it for ya! :thumbsup:

My understanding tho' is that the Griso isn't all raked out like the H-D V-Rod, it just has a long wheelbase that slows things down. I could be wrong tho', I haven't paid all that much attention to the Griso other than looking at it. For those who've never seen one up close, they look MUCH better in 3d than in pics: I positively loathed the looks of the concept bike that got so much press until Guzzi finally displayed one at the CWIMS show in Long Beach about 5 years ago now; then I became a convert. [Unlike the V-Rod, which looks just stupid in photos AND in the flesh, & feels even dumber when you take one for a test ride. H-D realllly needs to do a rethink on that one!]
