Engineered by Moto Guzzi for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2004 Moto Guzzi Griso utilizes a 992 cc (60.5 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 102 HP (74.5 kW) at 8,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 88.1 Nm (65 lb-ft) at 7,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 102.8 HP per liter and a 600 rpm working window between peak torque (7,800 rpm) and peak power (8,400 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Griso measures 199 kg (439 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.51 HP/kg (1.95 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,560 mm (61.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
