Moto Guzzi Griso 8v

not had my guzzi long but had no trouble with it except for one rear indicator lamp having a bad connection which was easy to sort out had a breva 750ie before this but not got the get up and go that the griso has going to change the bars for some aprilia bars which are narrower and give a better riding position so they say bike has just over 9000 miles on it and still looks like new its an awsome thing to ride bit jeckle and hyde power comes in at 5000 revs did have a kawasaki ZRX1200S its not as fast as this but its in a different league plenty of feedback bit scarry and wild

bought my griso after looking at them for 3yrs.i finally bit the bullet in sept 09 even though i had been told they were still unreliable and dealer backup is not good.after a matter of wks the clocks packed up(a regular problem).next was the speed sensor(a very regular problem)and next was a failed alternator after a total of 1900mls.the yorkshire dealer first sold me a battery thinking that was the fault but when it was diagnosed i was not reimbursed for said battery.the bike was in for 4wks of the best weather for the alternator.i picked it up in my van and took straight to bmw and traded it in! in the seventies magnetti marrelli electrics were worse than lucas,looks like things havent improved!
