โš™๏ธ

Unique Transverse V-Twin

The Griso features Moto Guzzi's signature 90-degree transverse V-twin engine, giving it distinctive character and low-speed torque that cruiser rivals can't match. This layout also aids cooling and simplifies maintenance access.

โš ๏ธ

Watch the Bevel Gears

The shaft drive's bevel gear box is a known wear point โ€” inspect for play or whining noises, as replacement is expensive. Regular oil changes in the gearbox and bevel drive are critical to avoiding costly repairs.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Slow Depreciation Curve

The Griso holds its value reasonably well due to its cult following and limited production numbers, particularly the 8V variant. Low-mileage, well-maintained examples remain desirable and command strong prices in the used market.

"Buy it with eyes open โ€” it'll reward the right rider completely."

$5,500-$9,500 used

The Griso is one of Guzzi's genuinely underrated machines โ€” a muscle-naked that does things its own way and doesn't apologize for it. That 1151cc transverse V-twin shakes, vibrates, and torques its way through every gear with real character, and the shaft drive means zero chain maintenance headaches. It handles surprisingly well for something that looks this brutish, though don't expect sportbike sharpness. The riding position is commanding without being aggressive. Buying used, you need to do your homework. Check the bevel gear housing for weeping oil โ€” it's the Griso's known weak spot and can get expensive. Throttle bodies need sync'd regularly or fueling gets lumpy. Parts aren't cheap and dealer networks are thin in most markets, so find an independent Guzzi specialist before you commit. Budget for consumables accordingly. That said, when it's running right, the Griso is endlessly satisfying. It rewards slower, considered riding over flogging, and it turns more heads than a Ducati at any given fuel stop. This is Italian motorcycling with genuine soul.
