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.

O Moto Guzzi Griso foi lançado em 2005 como um roadster musculoso construído em torno do clássico layout transversal V-twin, com a variante de motor de 8 válvulas de 1200 cc chegando em 2007 para substituir a configuração anterior de 8V por maior potência e refinamento. Era notável por seu estilo agressivo e exclusivo, criado com uma postura baixa e componentes mecânicos expostos que celebravam a herança de engenharia da Guzzi. O Griso 8V foi descontinuado por volta de 2015 e continua sendo um favorito culto por sua personalidade característica de V-twin com acionamento por eixo e presença visual distinta.

O que os compradores devem saber

⚙️

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.

8.1/10

"Músculo italiano imperfeito que recompensa os comprometidos."

O V-twin de 1151 cc do Griso puxa com força a partir de 3.000 rpm com aquele distinto impulso Guzzi e tração por eixo que você adora ou prefere — ele me surpreendeu mais de uma vez em um trânsito lento. O manuseio é surpreendentemente nítido para um nu tão pesado; as barras verticais e a suspensão firme dão confiança ao varrer estradas B, embora os garfos fiquem encharcados rapidamente se você empurrar com força em curvas acidentadas. O controle do calor é a queixa honesta que ninguém menciona o suficiente: a panturrilha interna direita fica bem cozida no engarrafamento do verão e o motor funciona mal até ficar totalmente aquecido. Mas nada disso me impediu de percorrer 12.000 milhas em duas temporadas, porque nada mais no mercado soa, parece ou se sente remotamente parecido.

Prós

+Torquey, característico V-twin de 8 válvulas
+Estilo industrial genuinamente marcante
+Acionamento por eixo, baixos custos de manutenção
+Manuseio de velocidade média estável e inspirador de confiança

Contras

Forte imersão de calor na perna direita
A oscilação do eixo é intrusiva no trânsito
Suspensão padrão subdimensionada para uma condução animada
Abastecimento de partida a frio, difícil e hesitante
Melhor para: Pilotos com personalidade, ocasionais viagens de longa distância Ignore se: Deslocamento urbano diário no calor
2012–2016 Gen 2

ECU atualizada, mapeamento revisado da injeção de combustível, sistema de frenagem aprimorado, pequenos refinamentos cosméticos e de componentes.

"Flawed, characterful, and utterly unforgettable — buy a good one."

$6,500-$10,500 used

The 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.
