MOTO GUZZI GRISO 1100 A FOCUS ON CHARISMA Some motorcycles are different. They are pure and instinctive; ideas on wheels. Like ideas, they are not subject to ordinary limits.

2 MOTO GUZZI GRISO 1100 A FOCUS ON CHARISMA Some motorcycles are different. They are pure and instinctive; ideas on wheels. Like ideas, they are not subject to ordinary limits. The Griso 1100 is one of these machines. Powered by a legendary engine, it was conceived and designed by an unfettered mind. One glance is enough to see that there has never been anything like this bike before. Its long, low profile is that of a thoroughbred power cruiser. Its essential styling hints of an uncompromising naked. Its technical features enhance this image of a new generation techno-custom. The sculptured engine and frame clearly suggest a muscle bike. This heir to Guzzi s winning traditions combines typical Moto Guzzi strength and stability with a strong character and a personality of the sort that always leaves its mark.

MOTO GUZZI GRISO 1100 A WORK OF MOTORCYCLING ART There is no way you can resist the seduction of the Griso s inimitable looks, the fascination of its ageless 90 V-Twin engine, or the high-tech frame

Yet the Griso is not just a pretty face. True pleasure can only be experienced from the saddle.

5 MOTO GUZZI GRISO 1100 A WORK OF MOTORCYCLING ART There is no way you can resist the seduction of the Griso s inimitable looks, the fascination of its ageless 90 V-Twin engine, or the high-tech frame that surrounds it. The Griso is the very definition of elegance. From its modern instrument panel to its advanced LED tail light, nothing about the Griso passes unobserved. Yet the Griso is not just a pretty face. True pleasure can only be experienced from the saddle. The upright riding position and wide handlebars give you absolute control and make it so easy to flick through traffic, helped by a beautifully responsive chassis. The suspension is fully adjustable too, and adapts easily to all riding styles and levels of load to guarantee a tremendously comfortable ride even with a passenger behind you. Moto Guzzi s patented compact reactive shaft drive delivers smooth, jerk-free power for even greater comfort. Even the worst rush-hour sudden stop can be performed effortlessly by a braking system that incorporates two 12.6 front discs with opposing four-pot calipers. The Griso s character emerges strong and clear even when you stop to refuel: that Formula 1 filler cap certainly cannot go unnoticed.

7 MOTO GUZZI GRISO 1100 THE LINE OF PRECISION Don t be fooled by the long wheelbase. The Griso can tackle twisting roads with surprising agility imparted by a top class chassis. As you aim into the bend, the front end sticks to the asphalt like glue, thanks to a massive 43 mm (1.7 ) fork with fully adjustable suspension, and the rigid steel frame responds instantly to your control. Power out of the bend and you immediately establish a perfectly straight and stable line again, assisted by rising rate rear linkages and a monoshock with separate gas tank and adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound. Pure pleasure is to be had riding the Griso over fast country roads as well as on mountain roads, where massive torque at low revs come into play. And on those long straight roads you can expect the rock-steady, cruiser-style stability, with the benefit of exceptional grip from high performance tires.

MOTO GUZZI GRISO 1100 MADE TO AMAZE Just look at the tubular frame supporting the monumental fuel tank, the imposing engine, and the mighty exhaust.

Nothing bland could ever grow around the classical nucleus of Guzzi s 90 V-twin, with its unmistakable cooling fins.

8 MOTO GUZZI GRISO 1100 MADE TO AMAZE Just look at the tubular frame supporting the monumental fuel tank, the imposing engine, and the mighty exhaust. You can see immediately that the Griso is untamed, born from an unrestricted design concept that has turned the pleasure of motorcycling into a physical form. Nothing bland could ever grow around the classical nucleus of Guzzi s 90 V-twin, with its unmistakable cooling fins. Everything about the Griso is certainly inspired, from its sporty front end to its slender tail, through the aggressive, forward-reaching side panels and high-tech cylinder heads. Yet the Griso s aggression is tempered by the elegance of a refined, satin finish that contrasts with gleaming chrome components. Functionality is uncompromising too, from the futuristic instrument panel with active matrix LCD display and on-board computer, to the high intensity, triple LED tail light. Even the color schemes speak for themselves: aggressive Guzzi Black and traditional Racing Red. COLORS Guzzi Black Racing Red

10 GRISO 1100: THE DETAILS INSTRUMENTS HANDLEBARS AND RISERS FUEL FILLER CAP The generous active matrix LCD display is easy to read in all lighting conditions. The on-board computer displays consumption, average and top speed, mileage (with two trip counters), and diagnostics. The wide, biconical handlebars give you total control over your machine, and make rapid direction changes a piece of cake. Style and functionality go together in the hand-brushed risers, machined from top quality material and finished with lavish care. The fuel filler cap is a distinctive feature on top of the tank. Inspired by Formula 1, it not only makes refuelling quicker and easier, but adds an original and eye-catching touch of class. OIL COOLER EXHAUST TAIL LIGHT On the Griso, clever technical solutions always come in stylish form. The oil cooler, for example, is located to the side of the bike where it not only blends in with the overall styling but also improves the efficiency of the lubrication system. The imposing exhaust with its twin pipes adds character to the side of the bike. The stainless steel silencer features an aluminium end plate. The shape is original, but the sound is the much loved, intense, deep throb of Moto Guzzi. Exhaust emissions are extremely low and conform to Euro 3/CARB standards. Under the super-sleek tail lies an absolutely stunning tail light. Three high intensity LEDs guarantee excellent passive visibility but, because they project on the reflector, are totally invisible from the outside. The lens bears the symbol of the Moto Guzzi eagle.

11 GRISO 1100: ACCESSORIES THERE IS ONLY ONE GRISO There is only one Griso, but many Griso riders. That is why Moto Guzzi has designed a range of dedicated accessories to let you personalize your motorcycle, turning it into a mirror for your soul. Specially designed to enhance the personality of a machine that is already unique, these original Moto Guzzi accessories help the Griso express its many talents while keeping in line with your own personal style, preferences and needs. See your local Moto Guzzi dealer for more accessories and for availability. 25 LITRE SEMI-RIGID PANNIER KIT Once you re on a Griso you re not going to want to get off. Luckily, you can rely on the semi-rigid pannier kit to tackle even the longest journeys without having to leave anything at home. The panniers are made from an innovative high-tech fabric and feature a host of important details, like lock slots in the zippers, reflective inserts and a customised Guzzi logo. Easy to fit and remove, thanks to Moto Guzzi s patented Fast Click system with security key, these panniers come complete with a mounting rack designed, tested and homologated by Moto Guzzi. Thermally sealed, rain-proof hoods mean that you can carry on riding whatever the weather. LUGGAGE RACK KIT The elegant yet sturdy luggage rack is designed specially for the Griso. Made from chrome-plated steel, it also acts as a practical grab handle for your passengers. NOSE FAIRING KIT The semi-transparent nose fairing provides enhanced aerodynamic protection and reduces rider strain. The mountings are designed to integrate perfectly with the styling of the Griso. TANK BAG TAIL BAG BIKE COVER BLOCK-DISCK MOTO GUZZI The super-practical PVC and nylon tank bag stores important items where you can keep an eye on them and retrieve them quickly when needed. The bag fits the sleek forms of the Griso s tank like a glove. It is extremely well protected against the elements, and comes with a waterproof zip, rain hood and reflective inserts. The kit also includes the bag base, and is available in two sizes. Developed to match the Griso luggage rack kit, the bag is made in nylon and PVC with rainproof cover, and can be easily attached and removed, becoming a useful shoulder bag. Its capacity is about 10 litres (2.3 gallons) and can expand to 15 (3.4 gallons). It s only natural you should want to protect your Griso, so Moto Guzzi has created an elegant black bike cover in strong, scratch-proof fabric, featuring the Griso logo on both sides.
