The 2013 Moto Guzzi Norge GT 8V was named in celebration of the Moto Guzzi’s 4000-mile journey to the Arctic Circle in 1928. Power comes from a 90° V-shaped twin cylinder, four-stroke, air cooled engine which has a displacement of 1,151 cc. The engine’s output is rated at 102 HP at 7,000 rpm and 76.7 ft lbs of torque at 5500 rpm. This capable engine is mated on a six speed gearbox which is smoother and friendlier than ever.
2013 Moto Guzzi Griso 8V all done up in new matte black and gray paint and graphics designed to be slimming. Aside from the change to tubeless spoked wheels a couple of years ago, everything is status quo with the Griso. Which is fine by me. This Black Devil SE model gets its frame powdercoated black, as well as its big inverted fork and handlebar. I’m no good at persuasion but I am a big-time magazine guy, so they let me ride off on it for a week. It’s been nearly three now and they’re only just now asking for it back.
