Best looking Moto Guzzi ever?

[EnglishRider]

I've still got a 1068 California Vintage alongside the R3T and saw this 1400 at the bike show in Birmingham; have also been to my local dealers - gorgeous looking bike but at £15,000 plus ...

Rear end looks too skinny.

Are we still talking about the bike????????????

 

[captain jack]

There is? I can't find it

It must be there somewhere, just keep looking.

I talked to a friend yesterday who happens to be the local Guzzi dealer and he said that they didin't even mention this bike at the dealers meeting. He suspects that the pictures are of a non-running mock-up, maybe used just to see if it generates interest.

"Cruiser" magazine did a nice write-up a few months ago on the Guzzi California so there must be some running models somewhere...from what I understand though dealerships in the U.S. are somewhat far and few between. My Triumph shop here in Anchorage used to peddle Guzzi's but they dropped em because of low sales.

Bloke I know was the Guzzi dealer here in Brissy for a few years .. gave up and surrendered his dealership. Told me doing business with Italians was impossible. Bit like Triumph .. parts availability and pricing were the issues that ended it for him.

Someone at Moto Guzzi finally figured out how to design a bike that does justice to that wonderful motor! I know they don't make 142HP/140 lbs/ft of torque, but I've always had a thing for Guzzi motors, but they're bikes have always been hideous! The Norge looks pretty good, but this thing is pretty **** awesome looking!

Beautiful. I've owned three Guzzis but nothing this beautiful. What kind of engine output?

 

[peter k]

They have 96horse power and 87 lb - ft of torque .

Saw a couple of Californias today in Ft.Worth. That is a beautiful motorcycle! Caught my eye as soon as I pulled on the lot.
