Cruisin' Guzzisti
I'm normally a rational person, but lately these Guzzis are having an effect on me.
The Griso first attracted me to the marque, but I reluctantly determined that it is unsuitable for my normal commute. I fell in love with the Stelvio I purchased in the first 5 minutes, but still lust after a red Griso. Some day. Any how, I find the top end bias of the 4 valve 1200, combined with the high gearing of the Stelvio, to cause me to drive too fast or get poor milage using 5th gear. In addition, the Griso 8v is way too expensive compared with the 1100, no way I can sell my wife on 2 bikes that are that pricey.
Then last night on the way home it hit me. What if I buy a 1100 Griso and swap the top end with the Stelvio, giving me the high performance Griso and a Stelvio with a meatier bottom and mid?
Crazy? Winter dementia? Should I think about doing this next winter?
