| Hi all,
I've got a 2011 GRiSO 8v, and so far love the bike. Been riding bikes since 1977, and previously owned a 1000s, one of those I wish I'd never sold. Anyway, the GRiSO is definitely 'different' from the norm, and ticks all my reqts.
Cheers | |

| Hi TonyG
I have a 1100 2V and have heard the 8V go alot harder up top.
All good fun,which is what it's all about.

| Hi Harry,
I've ridden both and the difference above 5000rpm is noticeable. I'd swapped a speed triple for mine so was used to revving the motor. 1100 was fine though, I'd be happy with either.
Cheers

| Hi Tony,
I'm on a 2011 as well and loving every minute of it. Welcome to the ghetto! | |

| Cheers Landman,
We are having some nice Autumn weather here and the more I ride it the more I like it. It's happy charging about or just lumbering along looking at the scenery. | |

| Agreed, this is the bike that feels at home anywhere. We had a great autumn as well, unfortunately we are quickly running out of days... If I make it to November without snow it will be a miracle. | |

| Landman Snow, here in OZ summer is on its way, and we get to ride in winter. Mate it must be hard looking at a GRiSO and not being able to ride it. But then I'd rather look at a GRiSO than look at a Universal Japanese Motorcycle.  Harry | |

| Unless it is pissing down here I'll still get to take it out for a ride now and again. Otherwise, it's out to the garage with a cup of tea or a beer to do some meaningless task so I can look at it morosely. | |

| I'll be spending some time this weekend wiring the heated grips. They may not buy me any more riding time, but at least I'll be comfortable...

| Brock, if you need any tips/clarification on what needs to be done to install/wire up those grips let me know. There are some steps learned from experience that can make it a lot easier.
It takes a little time.

| Cool, thanks - maybe I'll take a few pics while I go.
I wired Koso's on the 1200 Sport, and also on the brothers bmw x-country, but this will be the first time with the pre-wired system. | |
