I bet the headlights on the Granpasso are utterly shite. What is with this obsession with spotlights?? they're crap for casting any kind of light ...

I bet the headlights on the Granpasso are utterly shite.

What is with this obsession with spotlights?? they're crap for casting any kind of light whatsoever.

(or does no-one ride after dusk anymore??)

I've recently made Baldrick etc that little bit richer. V. nice bunch of guys, plan on using them more in the future.

Oh, wibble, I do like them, although I do prefer the look of the 1100. The missus would kill me admittedly, but I am trying my best to convince her of the benefits of a 750 Breva as a commuter.

Still haven't resolved this dilemma. Corsa have a second hand Corsaro. I think its an 06 with about three hundred yards on the clock...

I was thinking ot taking it out for a spin.

Oh, as you were.

Anyway, the Griso is by far a better looking bike than that.

Reckon? I can't make up my mind. Not ridden a Griso yet. The Corsaro was impressive, and more than a little steroidally mental.

The 1100 certainly is. Not sure about the 1200. But the Corsaro looks far better in the metal than I'd imagined.

Not ridden any of tham so my view is only based on looks, the Griso is the only new bike I have seen in years thats made me go "wow".

The can is well ugly and the oil cooler isn't great but overall I really like the look, the others don't really do it for me.

Not a super bad looking bike, but do you really want to ride something called the "granpaso" ?
