Handling is better, motor feels better at freeway speeds but darn it, not nearly as comfortable. It is also sneaky fast if I'm not on top of it all the time. The CB has plenty of power, lets you know when it's going fast or accelerating. And so much easier to ride in town. Much more civilized. It has some poop, but it hides it rather well. The Griso likes to show it off.
Rboe,
True, but the Griso will smoke most of the air cooled Ducati's as well with its 110 HP. But hey, it costs about 30% more than the CB11. IMO that is the best looking bike that Moto Guzzi has ever built and one I would certainly consider buying. Everybody knows what a Moto Guzzi is and looks like, but very few people have actually owned one (that includes me) and their exclusivity is one of the factors that makes them cool. Especially the Grizo.
