Stunning Moto Guzzi California EV

Description

Experience on-the-road touring at its best with this incredible Moto Guzzi California EV. I have owned this bike for about 3 years and it has been a joy to ride. Guzzi's are well known for their reliability and this one has been no exception. Other than normal preventative maintenance (i.e. oil and filter changes) and a recent new rear tire this bike has performed flawlessly for me.If you've been riding Harley's you are going to be in for a very pleasant surprise. You can forget about the bone-jarring vibration that is a hallmark of the H-D design. The Guzzi features a very unique and distinctive lateral V-twin but the big difference is that cylinders are joined at 90 degrees (considered the optimum angle for smooth firing pulses) compared to the traditional Harley 45 degree configuration.And don't let the relatively smaller engine size distract you. I have regularly left my Harley-riding buddies in the dust with this free revving engine.I bought this bike from the original owner who babied it and kept it garaged at all times (as I have). He added a number of expensive and useful items to the bike including:

• Dual spot lights actuated by a "smart" switch sensor incorporated into the headlight flasher.
• Staintube Australian exhaust pipes/mufflers (a beautiful sound.. not too loud not too quiet
• Digital voltage meter
• Passenger pegs
• Factory style Hepco hard case touring bags
• tasteful pin striping on tank and fenders
• Custom fuel cap with Guzzi logo lazer engraved
• Highway "crash" bars
• A Corbin seat custom built onto the original Guzzi seat frame
• Extended windshield (bolts on to the existing for greater height.. not shown in pictures but included)
• New rear tire (just recently installed... front tire still has serviceable life)
• New front brake rotor
• New stainless steel dual mirrors
• Auxiliary power plug on handlebar (standard lighter socket)

Other unique features of this model:

• Maintenance free shaft drive
• tubeless tires with Guzzi's unique outer rim spoke design
• Hydraulic Self-adjusting Valves
• Fuel injection (just hop on hit the starter and go!)

This bike is in outstanding condition. The paint is near perfect chrome is beautiful there is not a scratch or dent anywhere. To my knowledge the bike has never been dropped or crashed. I have recently owned 4 other brands of bikes and I can say this is the only one that I can ride for 10 hours without any fatigue. I attribute this to the superb Corbin seat as well as the unusual angled-drop down bars.Seating position is very low making this a great bike for you short legged guys (or gals) out there. You almost feel as though you are sitting IN the bike rather than ON it.This Guzzi needs absolutely nothing except for a new owner to ride and enjoy. I just recently sprung for a new Indian Vintage (to satisfy my mid-life crisis) and sadly there is no room in the garage for two bikes of this size so I must reluctantly let it go.Please visit my gallery for many more pictures of this beautiful bike at: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-SSGd2h/I am so certain the new buyer will love this bike I make this warranty: Purchase the bike then inspect it within 7 days. If for any reason you are not satisfied with its condition I will refund your deposit without question.Any questions? Please feel free to call me Phil Auldridge direct at 512 517-0055. I love to talk about motorcycles and especially this one!
