Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 8v
The Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 8v has a top speed of 210 km/h, produces 110 hp and weighs 228 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
Le Moto Guzzi Griso a été introduit en 2005 en tant que roadster musclé construit autour de la configuration classique du bicylindre en V transversal, la variante de moteur à 8 soupapes de 1200 cm3 étant arrivée en 2007 pour remplacer la configuration 8 V précédente avec une puissance et un raffinement améliorés. Il se distinguait par son style agressif et unique, associé à une position basse et à des composants mécaniques apparents qui célébraient l'héritage d'ingénierie de Guzzi. Le Griso 8V a été abandonné vers 2015 et reste un favori culte en raison de sa personnalité caractéristique de son bicylindre en V à entraînement par arbre et de sa présence visuelle distinctive.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Unique Transverse V-Twin
The 90-degree transverse V-twin engine with its distinctive cylinder layout provides excellent natural balance and eliminates the need for a balancer shaft, contributing to long-term mechanical simplicity and reliability.
Watch the Bevel Gears
The shaft drive bevel gear housing is a known wear point — inspect for oil leaks and have it serviced if neglected, as replacement parts can be costly and sourcing them may require going through specialist dealers.
Strong Cult Resale Value
The Griso 1200 8V holds its value well among Italian V-twin enthusiasts due to its limited production run and distinct styling, making low-mileage examples particularly sought after in the used market.

"Une musculature italienne imparfaite qui récompense les personnes engagées."
Le bicylindre en V de 1151 cm3 du Griso tire à plein régime dès 3 000 tr/min avec ce bruit caractéristique de Guzzi et sa transmission par arbre que vous aimez ou pour laquelle vous avez un budget limité. Cela m'a surpris plus d'une fois dans un trafic lent. La maniabilité est étonnamment précise pour une voiture aussi lourde ; les barres verticales et la suspension d'origine ferme vous donnent confiance sur les routes secondaires, même si les fourches se détrempent rapidement si vous poussez fort dans les virages cahoteux. La gestion de la chaleur est un reproche que personne ne mentionne assez : l'intérieur de votre mollet droit est bien cuit en période d'engorgement estival, et le moteur tourne à fond jusqu'à ce qu'il soit complètement chaud. Mais rien de tout cela ne m'a empêché de parcourir 12 000 miles en deux saisons, car rien d'autre sur le marché ne sonne, n'a l'air ou ne ressemble à ça.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Flawed, characterful, and utterly unforgettable — buy a good one."
$6,500-$10,500 usedThe Griso 8V is one of those bikes that makes absolutely no sense on paper but complete sense the moment you twist the throttle. That 1151cc transverse V-twin punches out 110hp with a torque delivery that feels like someone stapled a locomotive to your wrists. The bevel-edged styling still turns heads a decade later, and the riding position is genuinely aggressive without being punishing. It's a proper Italian muscle bike, not a poseur. That said, going in eyes open matters here. The gearbox is notchy cold — give it five minutes or accept the clunks. Earlier examples (pre-2011) had fuel mapping issues that a dealer flash mostly sorted. Check the bevel drive for play and inspect the exhaust headers for cracks around the welds; both are known weak spots. Parts availability has gotten tighter as Guzzi's dealer network shrinks, so budget accordingly. Find a well-maintained example from a genuine enthusiast and you've got something genuinely special — a motorcycle with real character that most modern bikes simply can't fake.
