An engine design that originated in the early post-war years, Moto Guzzi's venerable 90-degree v-twin is still around today, albeit much modified and updated, powering the company's latest generation of superbikes, tourers and cruisers. Guzzi's take on the latter first appeared in the mid-1970s in the form of the 850 T3 California. The styling was unashamedly American inspired: fat 'buddy' seat, cow-horn 'bars, king-size mudguards, foot boards, panniers, screen and lashings of chrome, all of which conspired to make it look like Italy's answer to the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. The design has changed in detail over the years, the engine growing to 1,064cc and the cycle parts being upgraded with the latest kit, but the concept remains unchanged. "This isn't some faceless Japanese pretend cruiser, but an original," as Bike magazine observed in 1998.
This Moto Guzzi California was purchased new 15th May 2001 (for long distance touring) from Motorradsport Schmid, costing 21.700 DM before extras. Currently displaying a total of 4,747 kilometres on the odometer, the machine is offered with a 2012 servicing invoice; German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and an owner's manual.
