For that 3 grand you get better suspension bits, more HP and an Italian Stallion.The R9T is a bit pricier. And certainly more of a retro than the Griso - why they put the Griso in those comparisons is beyond me. A Bonnie, the W800, a TU250, all make better choices.
They put them in the same class due to the displacement but they are pretty far apart otherwise. Price wise, not 3k apart. Motor guzzi is still 12.5k and my new Cb1100 was 8200 brand new. That's a $4300 difference.

And the guy that gets the Griso for $11200 OTD will tell you it's a 3K difference.
OTD prices are different for everyone. Part of me wishes I payed the extra 3K over my CB and got a Griso. Shoot me...

I'm saying I paid 8200.00 for the bike new two weeks ago. 8200.00, tax, DMV reg and 200.00 set up, freight, fees. Done. Forget about all that out the door price stuff, the bike was 8200.00. The same exact fees I would pay at any other dealer anywhere. If i bought the motoguzzi it would be 12,995 plus those fees as well. Nobody is getting the griso for 11 and change, already inquired.
Now if the motorguzzi griso was 11,200 I would be posting on their forum right now. Was also comtemplating getting the Ducati 821 monster or possibly an Indian scout. I went with this bike because it looks cool and the price was more than right. I don't think I would pay msrp for the cb1100 but for 8200.00 its a fine bike and I'll give it a year and see how I feel then. I have changed a lot of bikes after a season if I'm not happy with it or something else comes out that I want.
