Moto Guzzi California Aquila Nera – Black Eagle (2010 – 2011)

The Moto Guzzi California Aquila Nera, or Black Eagle, is a striking addition to the 2010 model year lineup. This sleek, matte-black beauty boasts a wealth of chrome accents that add a touch of sophistication to its retro-inspired design.

The heart of the California Black Eagle remains the same as its predecessors: a 1064cc, fuel-injected, pushrod V-twin engine mated to a smooth-shifting 5-speed gearbox. Proven reliability and durability make this powertrain a trusted companion on the open road.

Its riding experience is characterized by a strong, torquey engine character, perfectly suited for both solo and two-up touring. The bike’s comfort is further enhanced by a spacious, all-black seat and a chromed tubular grab bar.

The California Black Eagle is a true reflection of Moto Guzzi’s rich heritage, blending style and substance in equal measure.
