Moto Guzzi California 1400 Audace 2016

Moto Guzzi California 1400 Audace 2016

The Moto Guzzi Audace doesn't really need traction control, selectable engine mappings or cruise control, because it's all about one thing: a powerful performance. But its powerful body also has enough room for modern electronic gadgets, which are undoubtedly also justified and useful in a power cruiser. The bike can be ridden in a sporty manner, the lean angle is acceptable, the brakes are up to the masses and the powerful engine has enough power to push the almost 320 kg plus rider forward. Big bike made in Italy.

thick, iconic engine
