Moto-Guzzi CALIFORNIA 1100 VINTAGE 2009 - 1

the transverse twin takes advantage of the opportunity to recover some of the modifications made to the 1100 Breva's engine. Cylinders, pistons, connecting rods, dual-ignition cylinder heads, valve seats and guides are all new. This little facelift will also be adopted by the other Calif models, which are now Euro 3 compliant. Recognition for a motorcycle that has become a symbol.

MotoGône Model 2006

Moto Driver Lyon 0478090906 lent it to me for 1/2 day; the Calif Vintage is "simply" bewitching: behavior, aesthetics, mechanics, sound and comfort find their quintessence here. I've been the lucky driver of a Jackal since 1999, replacing my 1989 Calif III, so barring a lottery, I'm waiting until 2009 to get my hands on this "bonbon"... 03/09/2007 09:32 Rating : 5/5 Respond to MotoGône

healey Model 2006

i've fallen for it, it's been my new bike for 10 days (for my 60th birthday); it's my third Calif, but it's by far the most beautiful

jackal Model 2006

I am an unconditional fan of the brand I currently drive a Jackal calif, great engine compared to my old jap.this Vintage is superb, I order it for my 50th birthday!!!! 07/07/2006 07:15 Rating : 5/5 Respond to jackal

gummikuh Model 2006

you make it sound like a bike for old people, but I'm 28 and have fallen under its spell. I'm ordering it next week after a test ride in Mandello, and it's the best bike I've ridden so far, after an XJR 1300, a BMW r100rs, a bmw r850r, a bmw r90/6 and a 400 four
the position is senatorial for both rider and passenger, the torque is omnipresent when winding up in last gear (it has to be said that the model I tried out was already well established), the protection is fabulous for a custom and the panniers are practical, despite what the journalists say. 07/02/2006 18:28 Rating : 5/5 Respond to gummikuh

néné Model 2006

64 years old, I have the 2002 Touring. I'm nostalgic for my previous yellow and black calif with all the chrome. She was as old-fashioned as I am
I think I'm going to fall for the Vintage. It's gorgeous. 04/26/2006 17:07 Rating : 5/5 Respond to néné

g2nim Model 2006

Of course, only "old moustaches" understand the appeal of this vintage. The "Goldorak" generation must be having a good laugh. For me too, with the changeover (Breva 750), I think nostalgia will win me over... to be a few years younger when I was riding a V7. 03/12/2006 14:52 Rating : 5/5 Respond to g2nim

JIMI Model 2006

50 brooms for me this year! 2 birthdays that could be happy..
What a beautiful bike, I'm on my 5th Guzz (currently my 3rd Calif), but I appreciate this super model, but at what price? 01/31/2006 12:07 Rating : 5/5 Respond to JIMI

nouinoui Model 2006

my calif EV is out of fashion in front of this marvel
i can't wait to crack on at 63.... 01/23/2006 14:04 Rating : 5/5 Respond to nouinoui

kiki Model 2006

I ride a V11, I love it, but what a dilemma to see such a beautiful bike. I've always dreamed of one, but I think I'll go for it .... and keep my V11 anyway. Mom will be angry again... 12/20/2005 18:45 Rating : 5/5 Respond to kiki

magasinier Model 2006

What a joy it is to be back on the good old '78 Calif, which was a delight to ride on the road. It must be one hell of a ride with the evolution of technology behind the handlebars of this marvel. 12/15/2005 19:44 Rating : 5/5 Respond to magasinier

DEAUVILLE Model 2006

There's only one word to describe this bike: Sublimissima
It's going to make a lot of fifty-somethings like me salivate, who dreamt of it when they were 20
Enough to influence my next choice. 11/24/2005 21:31 Rating : 5/5 Respond to DEAUVILLE

gummikuh Model 2006

This will be my next bike, to replace my old r100rs, and viva italia for the design, it has to be said that at the moment the bikes are rather geometrically shaped, which is awful... 11/22/2005 20:37 Rating : 5/5 Respond to gummikuh
