I purchased a new Griso 1100 in 2007, still own the bike.
So far the compression has been increased, airbox modified, re flashed.
It's apart at the moment, the heads have been gas flowed and the bores replated.

The first mods have the engine much more torque and hp, which made the bike more ridable.
Whilst I don't have the dyno figures to hand, from memory, the cup at the back wheel went Dillon low 80's to about 95!
Chatting with a few guys in the state's about how far the engine can be tuned, above 110bhp, they start becoming fragile.
