V 100 California​

“Very much expected from the Guzzista people, such a loving Guzzista.A model that has always been synonymous with MOTO GUZZI, could soon return to the range.

More powerful thanks to the brand new V100 engine, lighter. And more manageable with the interest rate reduction than the previous production model.

The brand new CALIFORNIA will be a genuinely satisfying cruiser capable of making the fans of the brand fall in love again and bewitching new customers.

Very careful in the details. It combines tradition and innovation.Performance and image in an exemplary way for the heights of the category.

Of course, besides the classic model will also be declining in other versions more likely to travel or from a particular look. But always think with the maximum attention to global quality.

CALIFORNIA is back!

Let’s hope!”
 
Unfortunately it suffers the same problem as the Mandello. Ugly cylinder head covers IMHO. To me the shape (boring) and colors (bland and boring) really detract from a nice looking engine and bike.

Otherwise, it's a very nice update to the California.
 
Love my old 1100 Cali! The 1400 is too heavy. If they came out with a lighter Cali with good handling, saddlebags a windshield and backrest I’m all in!
 
The rake on that fork.... Marquez will need two good shoulders to turn that thing. I think its beautiful, but I'd never own a cruiser like that. And in the US, the cruiser folks either want ultra reliability (Japanese) or American iron (literally). Hell, I juts discovered the Griso this year (22), so what do I know?
 
When will the V100 be released? I'm tired of ads. I want to see one in person.

End of the year here at the earliest. Many here in the States have deposits on them already. If you really want to see one, head to the GMG in September. ;)
 
I'm not much for cruisers myself, but I could see myself on it. But I agree with Mayakovski and Sasazuka; the new engine's cylinder heads are distracting to me. I can't stop thinking about a Stelvio or even a California 1400; dreaming of getting a GTM lol
 
I think it looks very classy - but does lack the 'I'm on 'roids' impact of the 1400 Cali etc. Not sure about the footboards vs. exhaust header - but of course a concept I know. Very nice looking bit of kit.
 
I love the lines and colours on this bike. Your right about the cylinder heads, they are under stated, this engine needs to be the focal point on some of the models. That is one of the things that make it so different.
I have a 1400 custom and would love to see a larger version. Maybe Guzzi can do a limited run as their production volumes are not very large.
 
Still a golden design.....
These 2 where fighting who has the ugliest Guzzi at the 💯 year celebration in Mandello

Now now, somebody with those exact livery, loves them.

Our own beloved Bill Hagan here has a “Hot Dog & Mustard” colored V11EV.

I like the Bumble Bee myself. 😀
