California 1400 Touring test: Cruising machine !
Alluring at will, the California 1400 from Moto Guzzi seduces at first glance with its new design combining tradition and modernism. In-depth technical review, it perpetuates the legend of the Mandello del Lario eagle. Test !
An excellent novelty 2013
At the end of this test on the roads of the South of France, it is clear that the Moto California 1400 Touring is not a simple evolution of the previous models. It is indeed a new motorcycle, which moreover marks a new turning point in the already rich history of the Italian brand by being in phase with the most modern technologies, without breaking with its glorious past.
This is indeed a true American-inspired cruiser, but with increased road capabilities and a very marked Italian identity, which will not fail to seduce European consumers..
"It is also for them that this motorcycle is primarily intended", explains Daniele Toresan, press officer for the brand,"more than the American market".
Naturally – and unfortunately – the selling price increases as a result, especially in this Touring version, available now for € 19,350 in two colors: black with white tank trims "like V7 and 850 California of yesteryear" or white with black "California Highway Patrol" trims. The Custom version is expected for March 2013, at a price of € 17,000.
