A superb and rare photo of the Moto Guzzi
California
The Moto Guzzi California
is a cruiser motorcycle manufactured and marketed by Moto Guzzi since 1971,
with a standard seating position, footboards, heel-and-toe gearshift, and
linked (discontinued for the new 1400 models) Brembo brakes.
The first California was designed
in consultation with the Los Angeles Police Department Traffic Division to
replace the department's Moto Guzzi V7s. It originally had a left-foot
gearshift, a bulletproof Lexan windshield and a sprung sidestand, along with
the requisite siren, radio, extra police lights, and a standing quarter mile
time of under 16 seconds. Later other police departments used them, including
the California Highway Patrol.
Moto Guzzi have produced a
version of the California almost continuously from 1971 to the present day, and
the current iteration is a 1400 cc model. In 2002, Moto Guzzi made an 80th
anniversary special edition California model designed by Italian furniture
maker Poltrona Frau.
This is a very nice and very rare photo that reflects a wonderful era of
Moto Guzzi ‘s rich motorcycle history in a wonderful way. This is your rare
chance to own this photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format
of ca. 8" x 12” (ca. 20 x 30 cm). It makes it perfectly suitable for
framing!
