I'm surprised no one has mentioned the valves disintegrating and destroying the engine? They finally fixed it in the later years Grizzo. No moto guzzi for me.

I have a Stelvio which has the same engine and it seized up on the M1 at 21,000 miles. It was the plastic oil pump gear which became loose on its metal center, twisted and stripped its teeth. I didn't notice the warning on the screen as it was early morning with low sun and the screen is almost impossible to see in those conditions. It cost me nearly £1000 for a used crankshaft from Germany plus a few gaskets and seals, and a new clutch while the engine was out, I did the work myself. This destroyed my faith in Guzzis but the repairs worked and 12,000 miles on I still have the bike as I love it and can't find anything I want to change it for. It took a year for me to stop looking for dire warnings on the display every 10 seconds, now I just ride and enjoy it. It was interesting to hear about the mess in the throttle bodies as I have had poor fueling recently, injector cleaner did not help and its erratic, some days are good, some bad but it usually clears after aboput 15 minutes. Maybe I need a throttle body strip. Thanks for a most informative and helpful video. Mark, UK.

I'd did that trip clockwise starting from Ullapool in 1974.. Unforgettable.. Trivia factoid: Durness was where young John Lennon (whatever happened to him?) used to spend his school holidays with some relatives he had there.

I'm seeing an 2014 Griso with 60000km ( about 40k miles), price is alright, still negotiable. Previous owner does the oil changes and small jobs, but nothing too extensive as maintenance, I doubt the valves are adjusted. Is the bike at the end of its life? what major maintenance should I plan for? or I should simply avoid it and look for one with less mileage? Thanks

Two things about Muraglione🙂 1 try to stay always on your side, 2 you are pushing .. so and so, but is a good thing because you dont know the road👍🏍️

I know what ya mean. I just did a 700mi week end thru New Hampshire- Vermont, NY Aadirondacks to the Berkshires and down through the Connecticut River Valley. Twisty as he'll and NO Traffic....on my Guzzi V 11 Sport with Mistrals and open airbox. MUSIC !

you are riding in 1 gear too low all the time

Just curious why you would pick a Suzuki Vstrom for a touring bike where you could also chose another guzzi like the Norge or Stelvio 1200. Could you clarify?

How much did it cost you, the clutch repair i mean.

I've just seen this review 3 years late. Loved the video footage onnthe Stelvio Pass. I think my Aprilia there around 2018. I've always loved the Griso but never got around to buying one. The small tank scares me. I sold the Falco a while back. I now have a 650 VStrom and a Moto Guzzi Le Mans IV. Love them both for different reasons. There's something glorious about the primitive tech on carburetted Guzzis. Love them. Thanks for the video. You have a new subscriber.

I have a V7 850 Special (Not a 1200 Griso.) but I can completely agree with you on your comments. The air filter thing is a good one. A stock air filter flows plenty of air and only cost a few pounds, "When you need to change it." I've just checked in there on my bike as it is a year old and there is NO DUST whatsoever! The oil levels on most Moto Guzzi are very critical and "less is better" than too much. The simple design of these engines is their strength and gives them good reliability.

Loud, angry, roaming, purring, screaming. What a bike. Thanks for showing the world what a moto guzzi griso can be

Got my Griso 1200SE! Picking it up soon 🎉🎉🎉

You throttle body full of crap coz the 1200 has a fuel evaporation canister which feeds crap back in... you can remove it.. the 1100 doesn't have that. The k&n filter is great Owned my 2008 1100 for 14 years.. and I'm still in love with it... The toughest most robust bike ever made.... way better and more reliability than any BMW ever made... Only a few minor issues

Very informative ! Thank you ! Subbed in .

My tents in ITALICS haha 😂. Liked and subscribed.. Got the tent. Got the cooker. Got the cameras.. GOT 100 BUNGEE CORDS.. NC500 here we come.. 👍 😁 😂❤❤💯🤓🙏🙏👌

Is this stock or adjusted?

Paper filters cannot be bettered these K&N things are a scam.

Hi. Where did you buy the license plate mount for the Griso?

I don’t own a Griso, but I certainly would like to. Thank you for your video, it hasn’t altered my opinion on the Griso and eventually I will purchase one. I own a Kawasaki 500 Mach 3 H1A triple so I love and appreciate motorcycles that are different, to me being outside normal is very appealing. Warmest regards from New Zealand

Are they MPH on your speed?

You are very courteous rider, a man after my own heart.

Thank you for the viedeo, I just bought used a 1100 Griso and I can't wait to pick it up next week.

Lol,parts allover the flor,realy good way to do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for your video. What brand/make was the air filter?

Its seems ridiculous to me you speak if all this maintenance and changes that you do, then say if you do this its a reliable good bike. Thsts an oxymoron surely?..compare this to any japanesel bike, it sounds like a nightmare..im not trying to be mean ..but you have after this put me off these machines..perhaps sadly,.. completely.

Never saw a video of a guzzi that way! Did you tune your machine ? Or is it all stock except that exhaust 😅

How tall are you?

porca troia che bestia, complimenti è bellissima!

Generally those type of air filters require oil on them to catch fine particulates. I don’t know the make of the one you’re holding but a K&N which is similar looking to yours, needs to be cleaned and oiled often. Your valves usually take a beating when dirt is introduced into the engine.

that sounds good... i need to get a griso, does the audace sound like this too?

That Griso of yours sounds like it means business.. Very envious. I've yet to see one. I live at the western end of the Pyrenees and it would be ideal for blatting up those mountain passes. Would you say there would be enough room for a 6'2" rider? (Looks like Henley?)

What exhaust are you running on this Griso?

I discovered over 20 years ago these garbage fictional hi flow air filter that let dirt into your engine. Dynoed a ferrari 308 qv 20 minutes apart, lost 5 bhp on a K&N. I always say go on a diet first, loose 5kg body weight, cheaper and healthier than a junk filter if your qualifying for grid position in a race its a different story.

Fabulous 👌 thanks for sharing.

Beautiful

My cbr 125 has 47k milage and I've never changed the oil lol 😆

Great Road!

I loved the raw thumping sound of the Griso 1200 , so characterful full of soul. I wish it was available in India 🇮🇳 😢 😔.

Your bike is running great after new parts from the major service. I love my Griso too, it is great fun to ride.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the bike. Did you have to grease the rear suspension bearings at the pivot points? I have heard the factory did not grease those bearings.

Nice review

Nice riding there mate! I'm feeling to bet that the front of the motorcycle is really the thing that gives you the feeling to chase after because I see you dropping gears for the grunt, even though this motorcycle can actually tolerate and perform on high gears with low speed . I had the opportunity to get a griso but found an Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 for cheaper and with ABS and traction control, so I opted for that instead. However I feel in my later years I'd go looking for the griso regardless.....

Great trip dude. How do you attach the Givi to the tank???. Need to find the adaptor for my 20L tanklock tks buddy!!!✌️

Im planning to buy a 2015 1200 se, but they are hard to find here in sweden

Amazing views and great looking roads. It’s all flat here in Niagara Canada. So this is some nice mental refreshment for me. Good job.

Wow..perfect..can only imagine driving this beauty on old Lička road in Croatia! ❤️

Just bought a griso. And living in a predominantly flat part of Canada, this brings me joy. Bar the camper vans of course.

I have a Ventura Pack Rack on mine. I have the same tank bag, the exactly same bike. I have done 42000km on it since new. Has been working great. I do have the little guzzi fairing on mine. :-)

THat's a very nice series of joined up bends! Bit of UK road surface here and there though, eh? I'd have been riding it very differently on my T3 Cali (a very different bike), with a lot fewer gear changes and "Days Like These" playing on the headset ((o; Tech ask: you have a lav mic from the Zoom recorder picking up exhaust noise?
