And the Griso?!!! Molto, molto bene!!! In fact Bedouin has told me that he's in lust with that bike, and is seriously thinking of purchasing one next Spring, when they hit the market
He could do a lot worse .. !
Let's hope he has room and £$£$£$£ to keep the Triumph too!!
I like this Guzzi as much as the Yam MT-01
Adey,
Dat dere Triumph ain't goin' anywhere!
I have copied an excerpt of a post I made sometime in April where I explain my line of thinking:
Quote.
_____________
During the remainder of my lifetime, it is my wish to collect 1 (one) bike from each of the classic manufacturers.
By this I mean a new bike from each of the older brands (such as BMW, Triumph, Moto Guzzi, Indian when re-resurrected, Norton etc.)
I already have a Triumph and a BMW (plus an "out of category" Aprilia Mille crotch rocket for the rare spin, you know... medicinal/blood circulation purposes).

Unquote.
I have owned a Guzzi before (850 Le Mans) with some pretty good memories (albeit not a crotch rocket - a bike that produces the right kind of ride/emotions).
Dwight's right, I am in fact "in lust" for the Griso (although my exact words were "in love" but, being the wise man that he is, he knew better and I couldn't fool him!  ).
The Griso (from what I can make out) presents itself as a model that would be both desireable and exactly along the lines of my outlined (above) collection (other than, of course, the lust factor  ).
As can be clearly seen, I am addicted to "twins".
For the record, in recent years Moto-Guzzi were part of the Aprilia group which is now part of the Piaggio group (plenty of $$$).
I therefore don't see them going away very soon (and would be very disappointed if such a great and historic brand did).
Maurice,
I have been racking my brains but cannot seem to think of a brand as such, perhaps a few models here and there.
