There's a wind that blows off of Lake Como, home of Moto Guzzi motorcycles in Italy since 1921. This "Breva," as it's called, blows from the south ushering in fine weather. In 2005, it signifies a breath of fresh air in Guzzi, maintaining the legacy of its rich past and combining it with new form and new technology of the future.
MODEL DESCRIPTION
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¿ V-Twin engine with a capacity of 757cc. 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 travelled - 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.
