Moto Guzzi California 1400 Eldorado 2015

Moto Guzzi California 1400 Eldorado 2015

The Eldorado is not only technically a particularly successful cruiser with its equally traditional and modern 1380 cubic capacity V-twin cylinder engine, but also visually. The reminiscence of the Eldorado 850 from the 1970s is quite successful with the typical design features, the whitewall tyres and all the chrome. Only the too modern speedometer doesn't quite fit into the picture. However, there are a lot of modern electronic features on display: adjustable power modes, traction control and ABS want to be managed. Cruise control is also on board as standard and epitomises the cosy character that the Eldorado exudes.
