California 1400 Touring SE (Special Edition)
As its suffix suggests, the California 1400 Touring SE is a Special Edition designed on the Calif ‘Touring introduced two years ago (read our). This more opulent version is characterized in particular by its two-tone paint, its more enveloping windshield, its passenger backrest, additional lights and new deflectors..
35-liter side cases, cruise control and three-level adjustable anti-slip are fitted as standard. The engine – controlled by a ride-by-wire electronic accelerator – does not know any changes, which is not necessarily a bad thing as the large 1380 cc v-twin combines generous torque (120 Nm from 2750 rev / mn) at a nice extension !
California 1400 Eldorado
Eldorado is a name already used by Guzzi at the end of the 60s for a rather luxurious model, intended primarily for the American market. The Mandello brand brings this name up to date by using the platform of the California 1400, elegantly "customized" via subtle details such as the 16-inch spoked wheels (instead of 18 at the front and 16 at the rear on Custom and Touring) to lower the line.
For the same stylistic reasons, the Eldorado receives nice whitewall tires in 130mm and 180 wide and protections on its 21-liter tank. Its specific saddle, wide and comfortable in appearance, peaks at a small 724 mm, while its curved handlebars are redesigned.
Like the current Califonia 1400, the Eldorado receives as standard an adjustable anti-slip, three injection maps, a complete digital instrumentation and a front headlight with worked LED shapes..
California 1400 Audacity
Described as a "muscle bike", this California 1400 does not lack … daring with its black dress, its stick rims with red "Moto Guzzi" trims, its "classic" round headlight and its shock absorbers including springs are not hidden by covers, like the Custom version.
The shortened exhaust, also entirely dark, and the metal grille installed on the radiator help to strengthen its more muscular appearance, if not really sporty.
The saddle is covered with Alcantara, while the steps are replaced by footrests further back.
The price and availability dates of these three California 1400s are not yet known, but of course MNC is investigating in Milan: stay tuned !
