2007 Moto Guzzi California Vintage, rebuildable modern classic - This is kinda' like your grandfathers gootsie, but alot more refined. It is designed on the cosmetic platform that was used by police forces all across the home of the brave in the early 70's, but it is upgraded from ankles to appetite and works VERY well, and is rock-solid dependable. A VERY sweet rebuildable that will send the american iron running with their tails between their legs. Runs and drives beatifully. needs a few bits to be perfect again. repairable scrapes and dings on the tank and bags. this bike is 15,000 new, so even with some touch up and a few cosmetic pieces, you will be way under value once it is finished. or ride it as is, once you change the slightly bent bars .you will pay this much for a much older one that is not this upgraded, making this a wise choice and a great value. credit cards accepted, but DO NOT EMAIL. call kent toll free 1 888 852 8280 for details. An Italian custom bike for the US police. Thirty-five years have gone by, but the Moto Guzzi California continues to play a leading role in the collective imagination of motorcyclists throughout the world. In 1971 when the first model was introduced, the custom market was divided into the original US models and their imitations from the East. Moto Guzzi introduced a motorcycle with a strong personality based on the tried and tested frame of the V7 Special and the legendary 90 degree V-twin engine with a capacity of 757 cc. A winning combination which won international success, not least because it proposed a new way of motorcycling, in contrast to the exaggerated quest for performance. On a Guzzi California, you traveled - and you travel - in total relaxation. The seat, as comfortable as an armchair, enables you to enjoy the landscape protected from the wind in the shelter of the large windshield, fitted as standard together with the panniers, a clear sign of its vocation for travel. These qualities enabled the V7 California to triumphantly cross the ocean where it was adopted first by the L.A.P.D. (Los Angeles Police Department) and subsequently by other US states. The rest is history - and legend. A familiar presence in films and advertisements, the California has every right to be considered as one of those industrial design objects which have left their mark on our history. Its two legendary wheels have never stopped - and neither has its evolution. Year after year, the look and technology has been updated, without altering its original personality and spirit. Now, 35 years after its birth, Moto Guzzi has decided to pay tribute to this extraordinary model by creating an exclusive Vintage version, dedicated to those who want to go on dreaming.
