Moto Guzzi Griso 8V SE – MotoGeo Review
MotoGeo got to ride the spirited ‘Griso’ during the Canyon Carving Adventure and Jamie Robinson gives you his review.
The Moto Guzzi ‘Griso’ is full of character, with a masculine and powerful 1200cc V-Twin engine combined with a shaft-drive and solid yet beautiful chassis, all blend together to make this bike distinctive is so many ways.
