    Like my 2016 El, great comfortable bike. Rode it out to California on a route I did 40 years ago on a 73 bmw across Colorado, Utah, Nevada lonely lands highways, over the mountains then down the coast from the city (SF) to San Diego for a late 600 mile service (2000 + on the bike) then back again to Colorado. Fun, only new bike I have ever owned. I would ride it anywhere.

    I have been riding Harley Davidson for the last 30 years love them ,this is the first moto guzzi I really want to own. Did try a 2001 moto guzzi ev1100 was ok but seemed to small. I have just bought a white 1400 California with 1950 miles on it in USA, waiting for it to arrive in Ireland. Great review high spec bike for touring..

    I bought a used white touring largely based on Harry's rave. I owned 2 guzzis in the past, but only when they proved themselves capable of offering a motorbike worthy to own for reasons other than "character" , was I going to own one again. This 1400 touring seems to be all that while still being all Guzzi, and quite frankly perhaps the most beautiful modern motorcycle I've seen in quite a while. Congrats to designer Galuzzi......
    And BTW, I'm from America, but whatever a "yabbo" is, it describes Donovan perfectly.......

    I really liked this review and I absolutely love the footage of the California Touring in White. I am putting in my order for one of these in a day or two. I had shied away from it in white as it reminded me of a police bike but on second thought and after a look at one physically it's a superb colour. It sure looks a quality piece of kit and rides beautifully too. Can't wait!

    For all the pedants getting excited about the mis-pronunciation of Guzzi, can I point out that British bikers have always called these bikes Guzzis (with a soft z). It's a kind of slang and why not? UK and US citizens mis-pronounce much else. Paris, Milan, Valencia? Our version bears no relation to the way the locals pronounce these names. Anyhow, this is a bike review not a language class so just get over yourselves.

    Love the show. I watch from the USA. Would really like to hear weight, liquid and money in US numbers to. I get the show in my email with a RUclips link and it seems like sometimes they say when we return we will have bla bla. But that is where the show ends. I'm wondering if there is more show that is not included on the RUclips video? Great show, good reviews. What is the name of the motorcycle store you do some of the shows from? How about a tour of it?

      Daniel Dexter Hi Daniel. We try and post as much of each episode as possible but sometimes the 'when we return..' bit is not particularly interesting for anyone other than SA viewers. The dealership we use is called Bavarian BMW and is in Pretoria in South Africa. They are about to move to a bigger and much fancier premises so then, we will do a reveal of that store.

    Well done, men! Great video review. The style of the touring machine really turned my head. I have to say this bike seems like it is really well put together. It got my attention for sure. But would I trade my Victory Vision for it? Honestly... no I would not. The Vision is just too good a machine to give up. Having said that, should the Vision ever need to be retired I would give this beauty a go and see if she could be a worthy replacement. I would also be in for a spin on the Flying Fortress. Have you guys had a chance to ride the MGX-21 yet? I know others have, but I would love to hear what you guys had to say. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

    • @gregorytimmons4777

      Haven't read a negative review of the MGX21 yet. General consensus seems to have it handling more like a sport tourer than a big bagger with great brakes, all the bells and whistles save for auto windscreen adj. and really put together well. With a drive shaft that bike may well run 200K+ trouble free miles.

    Guys, that bike isn't even close to being loud. I do like the custom but it needs to be brightened up. I'm not a fan of blacked out bikes. When I rode a black bike,no one sees you. Not a good riding experience. When I ride a bright bike. Totally different riding experience all together. I'll take the bright one every time.

    Interesting how the California manages to get extremely positive reviews anywhere but once you surf owner threads you notice a lot of dissatisfied customers. Kinda unfair long-term ownership isn't taken into consideration. Love the Flying Fortress and wouldn't mind trading my 2010 Triumph T-Bird for one but Guzzi's dreadful QC really puts me off

    • @gregorytimmons4777
      @gregorytimmons4777 3 года назад +1

      I guess i will have to dig deeper. Other than starter relay issues i haven't found these dissatisfied owners as of yet. Nor have i heard of any QC issues. Maybe they are former H.D. owners feeling a lack of bonding due to the Moto Guzzi not requiring a check of every fastener for tightness.

    • @boatdetective

      Only the top of the line California models have floorboards. My Cali Stone doesn't, Audace doesn't. I will admit, their black engine paint job leaves much to be desired but not nearly enough to sour me on the bikes.

    • @boatdetective
      @boatdetective 3 года назад

      You might give the floorboards a test ride. They do allow you to move your feet around on a longer ride. The ground clearance on this bike is substantial compared to other cruisers.
