2006 Moto Guzzi Griso
The future is naked!
The 1,064cc Moto Guzzi Griso packs all the muscle of the Italian
literature hero it was named after. Powerful, yet compact,
the Griso has already debuted to rave reviews in Europe, and
American customers can expect to welcome this naked bike café
racer with attitude in U.S. showrooms later in the 2006 model
season.
The Griso was developed and tuned for the challenges of classic
Italian terrain-serpentine mountain roads, sweeping lakeside
roads and high-speed stretches of highway populated by the likes
of Lamborghini and Ferrari. The Griso is master of its
terrain, delivering an exhilarating and precise ride at every
turn, no matter how technical, and on every straight, no matter
how fast.
 Featuring Moto Guzzi's
new generation 90° V-Twin, electronic fuel injection and
the patented 'CA.R.C.' reactive drive shaft, the Moto Guzzi Griso
incorporates the very latest technology from Mandello de Lario.
From its beautifully shaped tank to exhaust collectors that criss-cross
in an aggressive display of chrome, the Griso is a visual delight.
The chassis components further enhance the Griso's striking beauty
and thrilling ride. A robust 43 mm upside-down fork is adjustable
in spring preload, hydraulic compression and rebound damping.
Rising rate linkages coupled to a fully adjustable monoshock
damp the rear wheel. The elegant Brembo brakes don't just look
powerful, they pack aggressive stopping punch with two 320 mm
floating stainless steel disks and callipers with four opposed
pistons on the front wheel. The rear brake features a floating
calliper with parallel pistons.
The growth of the new power cruiser class has just been trumped
by the oldest continuously running European brand. The Griso
represents the raw essence of motorcycling stretched into an
aggressive stylish machine that never loses sights of the company's
roots. Power, elegance, and performance handling have met
in a unique vision. The MSRP for the 2006 Moto Guzzi Griso
will be $12,990 and available colors will be Black or Red.
Moto Guzzi's confidence in its product line is further exemplified
by the two-year unlimited mileage warranty that comes standard
with every 2006 motorcycle.
