The new 1400cc California.............

AndyT · Dec 3, 2012

Now I do really like this bike but at over £14k I fear it may not be in my stable for many years to come. I can just imagine myself cutting through europe on one of these...... lovelly

Termigoni will be addressing the exhaust note issue and i kinda need a big bike to suit my frame anyway

I think it has alot of character and that seat looks so comfy. Just nowhere to stick your helmet as the panniers not wide enough.

I need to find a Guzzi Dealer in Scotland and go for a look see

Shirlaws is probably the closest one to you. However, the closest to California will be Jim Allan's in Falkirk....

that looked a bit like it's got a rubber mounted engine. i think that would be a first for guzzi, wouldn't it?

having sat on one, i found i can't really do the forward footboards on this bike, but otherwise, i really like it :thumb2

The four valve, entirely new but true to its original architecture, is sculptured in aluminium and is an expression of Italian engine art. There have also been other technological evolutions such as the unique double cradle frame where the engine is elastically anchored, eliminating vibrations.

Shirlaws dropped the guzzi dealership about 2 years ago. My Guzzi 1200 Sport came from there and was one of the last ones they sold... I think it will be Jim Allan although I think there may also be one near Glasgow as well :thumb2

Sat on one at the NEC and it is huge !! I'm 6 foot 6 and it was big for me !! bigger than a Road king , but my knees were pretty close to those cylinder heads . Looked nice , a bit T3 in styling/ colour . Not cheap though ? A great bike to cruise down to Lake Como :thumb2

There was me thinking 'that silencer's a bit loose and the engine mounting bolts need tightening up'. :blast

You know that rare occasion when you look at something, and you think to yourself 'I like that'

I like that.........................

I sat on it at the show. Very nice indeed.
