Moto Guzzi Griso 8V SE Revealed

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Moto Guzzi recently unveiled its latest contraption, the Griso 8V SE special edition machine. The motorbike instantly stands out from the crowd thanks to the ‘Tenni’ matte green livery with contrasting black painted metal elements such as the frame, the wheels, the steering plates and the handlebars.

Other visual elements that complete the classic look of the special edition bike is the stitched leather saddle, the wire-spoke wheels and the restrained color-coordinated badges. Furthermore, the tail houses three high intensity LED light units, while the two-into-one exhaust system offer a preview of the new bike’s potential.

The Griso 8V SE is powered by a V-twin Quattrovalvole series engine developing a maximum power output of 110 horsepower at 7,500 rpm. That extra power comes courtesy of revised cam profiles and fuel injectors, along with a larger airbox.
