My neighbor just picked one of these up to go with his 2005 Bonnie and 1976 BSA. Pretty cool looking I'd never seen one in person before.

Nice! I've always liked that bike. Guzzis, like Triumphs, are just so darn "retro cool".


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

They had one of those sitting at my Triumph dealer (they sell Guzzi too, or rather they carry Guzzis) for about a year. That bike just needs a set of red and blue flashing lights.

My uncle had one of those, quite a few moons ago. Funny how little they've changed!

Kind of reminds me of a Honda CX500. Oddly cool looking bike though

I have a CX500 out back and it even has bags that look just like that on it but a full fairing instead of just a windshield. They do sort of look alike.

HHHHMMMM christmas is coming, maybe the wife will buy me one of these for christmas. After all she did buy me a new Honda Nighthawk 750 back in 2000 for my birthday. I've always liked the Moto Guzzi California, just a little too expensive for me.


'06 America, Raask foot controls, the bike use to be Graphite and Silver, now its Red and Black.

Nice bike. I've always liked the Guzzis. Especially the LeMan series bikes from the 1970's and 80's.

Better get one fast. Moto Guzzi has announced it will stop making the California.
