MODEL DESCRIPTION

An Italian custom bike for the US police. %0D%0A %0D%0A %0D%0AThirty-five years have gone by%2C 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%2C 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%B0 V-Twin engine with a capacity of 757cc. A winning combination which won international success%2C not least because it proposed a new way of motorcycling%2C in contrast to the exaggerated quest for performance. On a Guzzi California%2C you travelled - and you travel - in total relaxation. The seat%2C as comfortable as an armchair%2C enables you to enjoy the landscape protected from the wind in the shelter of the large windshield%2C fitted as standard together with the panniers%2C 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. %28Los Angeles Police Department%29 and subsequently by other US states. The rest is history - and legend. A familiar presence in films and advertisements%2C 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%2C the look and technology has been updated%2C without altering its original personality and spirit. Now%2C 35 years after its birth%2C Moto Guzzi has decided to pay tribute to this extraordinary model by creating an exclusive Vintage version%2C dedicated to those who want to go on dreaming.%0D%0A%0D%0A %0D%0A
