thgil Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Saw my old V11 Sport on eBay(2302963975518).Almost bought a tear to my eye.I am now going to save up and get another V11 to be the Griso's stable mate.Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frankdugo Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 good luck ,rich.does the griso ride as comfortable as the v11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thgil Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have admit the Griso is a much smoother ride than the V11 and the engine is alot smoother.But the thing I miss about the V11 is the rawness of the engine.I also find that the riding posistion of the V suits me more.After a long ride on the V I used to get an intense pain between my shoulder blades but this was only after 200 miles or so.The Griso gives me a dull ache on both my knees after the same distance but these are the things one puts up with because of the love of the bike.The Griso is my third Guzzi and I find that after years of riding jap bikes I can honestly say that I feel Guzzi's really suit my riding style,ain't nothing like the pull of a gert V Twin between yer legs.As soon as I get the money and bike I'll put the photo's up.May you all live long and make hansom corpses as we say Here in Somerset.Rich.

Orson Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 How many threads have we seen featuring former V11 owners rueing the day they sold their Guzzi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v50man Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Even though it didn't really suit me (a bit large and heavy), I sometimes regret having sold my Centauro. Such POWER... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I can honestly say , I've never met a rider who "used to own a Guzzi" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRENTTODD Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have met a few guys who had Guzzis and every time they say either "I wish i never sold it" or "I should buy another one" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
