Default Griso or Corsaro

I've been told the Corsaro charging system may not be up to commuting. But its bloody pretty, and was fucking awesome to ride.

But the Griso is such a .....Griso. I'd have to change the can...

IMHO the Guzzi is gopping in many ways apart from just the can


The Moto Morini however has a hint of Ducati and MV about it which i like but would benefit from losing the "johnny number 5" front lights

Yip, looks like Guzzi found a use for those decommissioned ICBM silos

Depends if you want sporty or slight sedate I think.

I wouldn't buy either - bet they're both grief, especially the Moto Morini.

The Griso can is shit. In the metal though I really liked it, pics don't do it justice.
The MM just looks like a Ducati rip-off.

Different kinds of bikes aren't they??

But I'd go with the griso if it was fitted with a different exhaust - like the termi:

It's a tricky choice. I'll be riding them both again, of course...

Griso looks the coolest. Although the pipe and the oil cooler look pretty ropey.

However with the Zard exhaust it looks nice.

not sure about that grey pipe design on the griso tank, the griso has the more traditional stylin' -which is nice, the corsaro looks like a zed/monster/buell mash up... but they actually carry it off unlike say the brutale or the tuono, not sure about the screen at the front.. looks cheap and nasty. With the MM you're back in striple territory though? and if you're there then try an s4rs, not quite as big in the bhp stakes as the Morini but 20kg lighter, better spec'd and it has much broarder support both officially and from online communities. I'd give one a whirl, actually no I'd get a 1000 s2r and spend the extra cash on nice bits as I dun' like radiators and anything over 120 on a naked is uncomfortable/pointless.




or wait for the rumoured/inevitable 848/1098 monster?

The Corsaro looks lovely, but the Guzzi doesn't. An Optimate should be enough to sort any charging problems, I'd have thought.

I thought you were looking for something more sensible than the STriple Trog, I'm not sure the Corsaro ticks that box

If you use the Corsaro in anger it weaves like an old Z1,I've had all that and don't want any more.

No nuttin bout no Guzzi.
