MCN's pic of a 8v Griso

[jihem]

 

it's in MCN

this will be shown at the GMG, next week. Apparently, frame has been adapted and there are about 545 new parts in this 1200 engine.

What's wrong with white? Makes it easier to paint the colour you want . I reckon my trademark 'Tree Frog' green would look very nice

White is the new black ,Looks ok to me.

[Guzzirider]

The motor looks a little differnt to the spy photo we were treated to the other day- wonder if that white bike is based on the original plastic mock up?

[Richard]

I wonder if they'll take the motor and put it into something Le Mans-ish.....

[rocker59]

anxious to see how this new engine performs...

 

too bad this white Griso didn't get a black frame...

[Ballacraine]

Looks like we got a 3/4 size fugly can......

 

 

 

 

Twice!!

 

The rest of it looks pretty cool though....

 

I agree it would be sharper with a black frame.

 

Nige.

[Guest gyles]

I like it !

 

The rocker covers are quite bland though... I thought they'd try and make a feature of the fact its a 4v head.

 

I like it in white - mindst I liked that pale blue they did the 2v griso in.

I thought only Norges came in (refridgerator) white~

[zebulon]

Hope this bike will be a great centauro's heiress

White is perfect for a custom painting

I thought only Norges came in (refridgerator) white~

I was thinking it was washing machine white on the Norge

 

 

I like the Griso's look in ant color... if it wasn't for that muffler

From the article:

8 V Griso - 115 cv power @ 9500 rpm, 11 kgm torque @ ? rpm.

 

From the workshop manual:

Daytona - 102 cv power @ 8400 rpm, 9 kgm torque @ 7800 rpm

 

Centauro - 95 cv power @ 8200 rpm, 9 kgm torque @ 5800 rpm

pierre , I see there 110 hp, and technical specs from the 850 griso. The rest is the press anouncement, see that before.

Paul, from that article:

Although designed along traditional lines, the new engine is a celebration of the logic behind the 90 degree V concept. It features a single overhead camshaft that operates the four valves on each cylinder with noiseless timing chains. This is quite an evolution to the already tuned 1200 cc engine that now puts out 110 CV at 9,500 rpm with maximum torque of 11 kgm. (Emphasis added.)

 

What catches my eye is 9500 rpm. My guess is if you spun the Daytona motor that fast (with suitable cams) you would approach same numbers. Time tested method of increased power, spin the pump faster.

 

(edit) Or am I reading this wrong. Are those specs for the current 2 V 1200? 9500 rpm? I frankly have no idea what the 2 v 1200 puts out. Anyone know? Is the current 2 v 1200 rated at 9500 rpm?

[Paul Minnaert]

well you have to make the air in and out efficient enough to have that power at 9500. My daytona has peak at 8000. And the guzzilla doesn't have it much higher.

 

It could be that they use a real big bore like the guareschi "bigbore", and short stroke. A duc 1098 does have it's peak at 9800 I think, short stroke, big bore.
