In view of its official unveiling at the upcoming 2012 EICMA show in Milan (November 15-18) Piaggio anticipates the new Moto Guzzi California 1400, a model that will have to revamp Moto Guzzi’s
reputation as one of the leaders in the segment of large luxury
motorcycles. The historic Italian manufacturer is about to introduce the
new generation of its equally historic flagship, which will made
available in Touring and Custom trims.
The new California 1400 is powered by
a new and powerful 1400 cc V-twin unit, and comes with ride by wire,
cruise control, ABS and traction control. The model will be hand built
in the famous Moto Guzzi factory in Mandello del Lario, next to the Como
Lake in Northern Italy, which has been producing the ‘Bikes with the
Eagle’ continuously since 1921.
Moto Guzzi’s usual craftsmanship will
make sure that each new California getting out of there will live up to
the passion of its exclusive custom base. In the first nine months of
the current year, the success of the new V7 range
allowed the Italian brand to record an extremely positive +13.7% in
sales - despite of the crisis crippling the European economy - and
that’s of course pretty encouraging for the new California 1400 as well.
On Tuesday twowheelsblog will be already there on the spot, so stay
tuned for more pics live from the EICMA and more info..
