Piaggio last week held its annual Dealer Meeting in Monte Carlo and then took the opportunity to present two prototypes of the new Moto Guzzi: California is precisely the new 1400 Scrambler and V7, the first of a new year should see the creation of four new models of Mandello del Lario.
In particular, the new Moto Guzzi California has a 90 degree V-twin with a displacement of 1400 cc (1064 cc instead of the previous version) and a chassis-to-date with regard to brakes, suspension and wheels, for which you have chosen a very dense star model that emphasizes the elegance of this Moto Guzzi. From the aesthetic point of view instead of the saddle stand out as big as the rest of the tank designed to incorporate the heads of the two cylinders, both of these elements contribute ultimately to give a truly impressive look to this motorcycle.
The Scrambler V7 instead retains many features of progenitor Moto Guzzi V7 Classic 750, starting from the propeller, but some details are new, such as double-stacked ARROW silencer placed laterally, chrome fenders, rubber side panels on the tank and the new lighthouse without forgetting details such as the raised handlebar, suspensions and oversized tires Pirelli on / off that they could not miss in a two-wheeler like this. It seems the designers to define the line of this new bike will be inspired by the two-wheel racing regularly engaged in the 70s and the legendary 175 Loyola in the first place. In short, the V7 Scrambler seems born on purpose to challenge the Triumph Bonneville, and perhaps even a new version of Kawasaki W 800 which is discussed a lot but that the Japanese do not seem to want to do too much.
