Hello everyone,
I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now. And I guess it's about time I introduce myself.
For the past three decades I've riding typical rice rockets.
And have been racing them as a club level amateur on and off for two decades.
Recently I crashed and totaled my high mileage (260,000) '00 gsxr750 thanks to a deer.
What motorcycle did I buy after getting off crutches ? A new Griso 8V !
This one:
I bought it 3 weeks ago and have already put over 2,000 miles on it.
I guess that's not bad considering it's mid Winter here and it's been below freezing nearly every morning when I ride to work.
It's a nice change to have a motorcycle with a real alternator that can handle both electric gloves AND full sleeve electric liner.
My GSXR went through a lot of stators just using an old Widder electric vest.
A Griso may not have the balls-to-wall performance of all the rice rockets I've been riding.
BUT I put a big grin on my face every time I throw my leg over the Griso. :mrgreen:
And it gathers compliments everywhere I go.
I'm looking forward to many miles on it.
I hope that switching from a GSXR to a Griso; that what I give up in performance I gain in durability, reliability, AND character.
