This is one seriously modified Moto Guzzi Griso 8V. Designer Filippo Barbacane (of Guzzi Ciclope fame) has taken the front end of a Gilera CX125, used bespoke bodywork and then managed to include the performance of the Griso 8V, while still managing its heavier weight.

The fuel tank has been moved to the rear subframe to make way for an airbox and top-mounted intake. The 1420cc engine with 140 hp now also has increased cooling capacity, and the exhaust has been mounted lower down. The name “Diamante” means diamond.

The engine tuning has been completed by the Millepercento company and while Barbacane will be producing only 30 of these, there are calls in the comments over on Hellforleather for Moto Guzzi to start a mass production run.
