I’ve featured plenty of these beautiful bikes before…the Moto Guzzi Griso SE. Adorned in a stunning Tenni Green and paired with a brown leather seat, I think this is one of the best looking production bikes out there. And it’s not just beautiful – a few months ago Cycle World named it the winner of a retro bike shootout, even though the Griso’s been unchanged for several years.
In December 2014, Cycle World compared the Indian Scout, Honda CB1100, BMW R9T, and the Griso. This is what they had to say about the Guzzi, after declaring it the winner:
“Which leaves us with the Moto Guzzi. We’ve always liked the Griso, and in this group it really stands out. It undercuts the Beemer by more than $2,200, plus it has better suspension and a more comfortable riding position (unless you are a freakish 6-foot-4). What’s more, it matches the BMW’s power output, carves up mountain roads with authority, and, well, we can’t keep our eyes off it either. Even those editors who didn’t pick the Guzzi as their favorite ranked the Griso right near the top. With its style, performance, comfort, and handling, the Griso is one sweet package. Bella!”
This Griso SE (VIN: ZGULSU020CM111450) has 9,527 miles and is well equipped with oury grips, Rizoma mirros/indicators, Agostini slipon, and the almost-impossible-to-find Stucchi bellypan, among other things. It’s claimed to be in excellent overall condition with some scratches on the left mirror and on the plates that protect where a rider’s heel goes.
