Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider who is comfortable with a torquey, characterful V-twin and a heavier, muscular naked bike.
PurposeIt's built for confident, stylish street and backroad riding where character and torque matter more than outright top-end speed.
Rider FitAt 231 kg with an 800 mm seat height, it demands a rider with decent strength and confidence to manage its weight at low speed and in slow maneuvers.
CharacterThe Griso 1200 S.E. is a bold, muscular Italian naked bike with a distinctive shaft-driven V90 twin that delivers strong low-to-mid range torque and a raw mechanical feel.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for off-road use, novice riders, or anyone seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight urban commuting.

2019 Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 S.e. Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 S.e., with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
