Yes, it is because it is difficult to get test rides. I really like the look of the Griso, but how many cool naked bikes do I really need, as I have a V7R and a V11S already, and I cant`t seem to let any of them go...So given this, plus I live in a cold country, a Norge may be what I need. The Norges looks is growing on me, but there is nothing quite like the Griso in my eyes... Norge is Norwegian for Norway, and I am childish enough to think that it is kinda to ride a Guzzi named after my country too
