| So much fun to ride, most fun of any bike I've ever had. And it is pure art: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| Yes indeedy, it is such a GREAT all round bike. I somtimes think its not fast enough, or doesn't handle well enought, but nothing puts such a smile on my face | |

| One of the best things is that you can be lazy riding a GRiSO. Where I live there is a really nice ride called Tawonga Gap between Bright and Mt Beauty. It is 30 kms on climb up and down and quite twisty-with 30-40KM posted speed indicators. On my newish Multistrada I and am mostly in 3rd and 4th gear. On the GRiSO I can chug up there in 6th (really lugging but 5th is a doddle). Talk about torque. | |

| Best during the week, pushies take it over in the weekends - over (or under)taking all the Hardlies. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Sent from Topic'it App | |

| That bucking bronco pic is great! I take it up a nice twisty road every weekend, mostly in third gear where I have loads of power everywhere. Hardly need to shift at all. Pass Harleys and other bikes too. When the revs hit 6000 it pulls so hard I giggle inside my helmet like an idiot. The sound and feel of the engine is pure joy as well. | |

| Looks like the beginning of Randy Mamolas high side just before his miraculous recovery in the 80's. | |

Same! Wish it would accelerate a bit faster from standstill and have a bit more leg room & fuel capacity, but other than that its fantastic. I actually think it handles like a dream! | |

| Rode her yesterday after a couple of weeks of inclement weather and car travel to the southern half of the state for the holidays. It's a bike that just makes you grin like an imbecile; whether riding it "lazy" or caning it, she will get up and do whatever you would like her to do. | |

| Mine makes me do illegal things. Haven't figured out yet if that is a good thing or bad thing. And I haven't figured out why it is sooooo much more fun to ride than my Ducati Monsters were. It has a certain je ne sais quoi thing going on there, Italian translation "non so cosa" | |
