The Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 8V SE was a special edition version of the standard Griso 8V model. The SE model was presented in March 2009 and was released into the world in the same year.
Compared to the base model, the SE version was painted in a Sating Green color scheme in honor of Omobono Tenni until 2011, when the livery was replaced by a Black Devil paint job. In addition to its special color, the bike was equipped with wire-spoke wheels, tubeless tires, a black frame, and a brown leather seat.
In 2014, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 8V SE, a special edition machine in its sixth year of production, featuring several improvements and updates over its production period.
The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a round headlight up front with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels with black rims.
The power was delivered by a 1,151cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, boasting 110 hp with maximum strength at 7,500 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 6,400 rpm, pushing it to 210 kph (130 mph).
From top speed to a complete stop, the machine was handled by two 320 mm wave discs paired with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 282 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
