I knew the allure of V twin would call me back but decided I wanted something a bit different. Toyed with a cruiser but too expensive and not quite ready for my slippers yet... So after an exciting and interesting (speedo packed up after 5 miles so return to dealer!) test ride last Wednesday in the Dales I went back today and ordered... a red Griso!
Apart from lots of torque at low revs it's about as different a bike from my Honda as it could be... quirky, noisy and fun as against, reliable, quiet and creamily smooth so the plan is the Honda for winter the Guzzi for summer, the CB for my staid moments, the Griso for my mad ones.
One similarity is the amount of cleaning required and I think my children are too old to bribe now...
Anyone here got one (a Griso, not a child) or know a (wo)man who has?
