grisso 850

hi
anyone know about the 2006, grisso 850, good bad ?
nice looking machine, seen one advertised with twin spark conversion and modified cams.

Thought they were not going to import these into the UK , assuming the add was in the UK????????????

never seen one, why would you buy one when the 1100 is both cheap and a fantastic engine, and is twin spark already!

actually once I googled it, I quite like it, I would still get the 1100 for the extra torque though!

thanks for the replies,
moto tempo in fermanagh has one for sale on done deal. looks like a good machine with a few extras.
it was imported from italy privately, i just don't know anything about guzzzies and fancy one for a weekend runabout as i have a dohc 1200gs for daily use.

As they didn't import the 850 into this part of Europe, spares would be harder to source, I would say get one, but go for a 1100 or 1200 2valve model, that way if you decide it's not for you, then the market is not so restricted to sell it on!

Looking at the engine I'm guessing it's a 'big' 750 not a 'small' 1100?

No - they are the 'big block' motors. Not V35/50/65 Nevada based like the so called V7's.

I think you can be fairly sure that almost all components will be the same as the bigger capacity bike.
You can always check by comparing parts numbers on this site

thanks for the sound advice guys, looks like the 1100 or 1200 is the way to go
