It took a long time to bring out this new California, a great Bike and it will sell for sure.

this bike coming from future with classic designing.i love it .

[@Elysecoop]

Classic lines/ looks great just sitting there. And, like all modern Guzzi's, built around the gorgeous block of function, the Vertical Vtwin. I just wish they would have fired it up- probably sounds better than it looks. Love it.

[@Skaglio]

believe me...there will be so many accessories you can't imagine ;)

At last a new bike that I love already!!! Ive looked but not found anything until this cali's come up! how much I wonder? around, 20k ? but please make a 1600 ++version available they got the lines right on this one, this'll put guzzi on street cred again, big time!! as I can see a lot of riders who, never owned a GUZZI, before go for this one!!!n I still love my 70s v7,t3,Lms 2

questo prototipo motoguzzi è stupendo davvero

[@spikeg79]

Link to Specifications? It looks great but will it be able to perform as well as other cycles in it's class. Hope it has as much if not more power than the Griso 8v motor and sounds just as wonderful.

[@rebeltz2010]

Sure you dont like it, and thats fair enough too, but this is a big n bold step for Moto Guzzi, n for long time owners like myself ,looking for some thing "different" as well,"practicable" road cruiser! I love it and Im sure there will be plenty of tweaking n accessories available, before they release it , which is when ? in Australia...cheers to all Guzzi owners too!!!!!!

[@hellanic95]

Another impressive desingh from Guzzi, is this an Italian V max ?

[@robcig]

I hope the ""tourer""version is as good as they say. If it is, I'll trade in the Harley tomorrow!!
BTW, it's November already, what's taking so long???

[@DavidePozzani]

Il livello dell'inglese è direttamente proporzionale alla bellezza del nuovo california

[@mrerasmo1985ms]

im italian and damn this manager has no speach... damn if you talk in public. STUDY!!

[@steveindenmark1]

"We can have this California in other versions" Of course we can providing you want to pay for it. This is aimed squarely at the American market. I have a 1996 california 1100i and would not swap it for this bike. To keep in business Guzzi is going the wrong way, in my opinion. They need to build smaller bikes which travel longer distances per litre. Piaggio will not do that because it would conflict with their other motorbike interests. This is just another nail in the coffin.

Meh, needs pipe wrap, Firestones and a pleated bench seat.

I like Moto-Guzzi but this 1400 is plain ugly...
