Moto Guzzi California ll description

1985 Moto Guzzi California ll for sale  98% stock original, very fine condition,

I bought this bike from the original owner last winter. It was not running, He was selling this and a older Guzzi he had bought new because he had a new bike. I have not had it registered or on the road so the person who buys this bike will be the second owner. This Guzzi was the top of the line bike in 85. It came equipped with windshield, crash bars, detachable suitcase type hard bags, air shocks front and back, triple disc brembo linked brakes, floor boards, etc. This is a true survivor with only 10,000 miles on the clock, a drop in the bucket for a Moto Guzzi. Truly a RARE find. It was stored in a Garage and the bike shows it. The Chrome is in excellent shape. It has not been molested at all. It has stock mufflers, airbox, everything. It is missing the stock mirrors. The paint is in very nice condition. The tires are matching Conti with good life and no weathering.

   The things I did  besides overall cleaning and polishing, I had to install a new main switch, an Odyssey GMA battery, with new hold downs, rebuild the carbs and installed new float valves, replaced the rubber breather hoses all of them and cleaned the pvc valve, replaced a non stock coil with a stock one, cleaned the gas tank out. The bike now starts fine and runs strong.

  The things I noticed it will need is a bulb in one tail light and a headlight bulb.

  The things I see wrong or need attention possibly are, one floor board has some chrome missing, some scratches in the paint on the front fender, the lock on the left  bag is missing a part, some small pings in the paint on the gas flap, the white on the seat is faded, but the seat has no rips or tears in the leather, there is a crack in the windshield.( see pictures )

  With some more polishing and cleaning this bike could be entered in your local bike show. It is 31 years old and in awesome shape for a Guzzi that old. It is also a prime candidate for a easy frame up restoration because all the stock parts are there.

Charge Up you iPhone While You Ride

Fri, 12 Feb 2010

Motorcyclists can now enjoy total freedom on the open road confident in the knowledge that their cell phones, GPS, MP3 players and latest generation of iPhone/iTouch devices will remain fully-charged and in-service for the duration of the ride thanks to Powerlet’s plug and play systems. “Our product line was inspired by personal experience and the realization that there were no worthwhile options for clean, reliable on-board power for cell phones, stereos and GPS devices,” says Powerlet Products founder Adam Bonislawaski. “Before we came on to the scene, riders would bust out the black tape and wire strippers and cut into their bike’s fragile wiring to tie-in a cheap cigar lighter to power their devices.

Moto Guzzi V85 TT Is On the Way

Mon, 22 Oct 2018

Slightly overlooked in this year’s Intermot insanity was Moto Guzzi’s announcement that its V85 TT is officially on the way. We first remember seeing this one at the EICMA show last November, but now it’s production-ready and quite the looker. As usual, there’s a 90-degree transverse air-cooled 850cc V-twin powering the thing, this one with a claimed 80 horsepower.

2019 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber Sport Revealed

Fri, 07 Sep 2018

Arrives in US dealerships in December, priced at $10,690 Moto Guzzi revealed a new, sportier variant of its V9 Bobber at its open house event in Mandello del Lario, Italy. The 2019 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber Sport adds Öhlins rear shocks, a single seat, lower drag bars and a sportier riding position than the regular V9 Bobber. This overlay of the two models illustrates the key differences between the two models: The footpegs are further back and slightly higher for a sportier riding position, but not aggressively so.
