Moto Guzzi Griso 1100

I did a test ride on a pretty red one late December 2008 at the Long Beach Motorcycle Show. It's long and ponderous at slow speed and unstable at high speed & cornering. The front end is not very planted with seriously vague feel, and I don't think that you can do much adjustments with the forks. Decent engine with a good amount of torque and horsepower mix. Very cool looking. If going slow is your thang and you don't want a cruiser, then the Griso would be a good alternative. You can lumber effortlessly all day long with that torquey engine at legal or slightly below legal speed.
