At the heart of the 2006 Moto Guzzi Griso sport motorcycle, Moto Guzzi utilizes a 1064 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 88 HP (64.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 94.9 Nm (70 lb-ft) at 5,400 rpm. With a specific output of 82.7 HP per liter and a 2,600 rpm working window between peak torque (5,400 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Griso measures 229 kg (505 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.6 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 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
