MaxMoto News from Milan 14/11/06.
(Update: 26/11/07. Now in Stock )

Moto Guzzi today launched a 1200cc, single overhead cam and four valve per cylinder engine for the Griso today.

This ups the power to around 109 bhp @ 7,500 rpm with a torque figure of around 80 ftlb. The Griso 8v has all the mid range character of the 1100 with stonking load of power at the top end of the rev band.

The utterly unique exhaust system on the Griso 1100 has gone even more extreme on the 8v and now terminates with a "double chamber asymmetrical silencer". See for yourself in the pictures.

The extra power has led to the seat being resculpted and the peg and bars subtly modified to give a slightly sportier aspect.

Up front, there are 320mm wavy discs and radial Brembo calipers.

Update: 26/11/07. We now have the 8 valve Griso in stock at £8,299 OTR, this superceeds the Griso 1100.
