Moto Guzzi California Eldorado (2015 - 2016)

The Moto Guzzi California Eldorado is a testament to the enduring spirit of Italian motorcycle design, where the past and present converge in a symphony of style and performance. This luxurious V-twin, boasting the iconic 90-degree engine configuration, is a modern interpretation of the classic Eldorado, first introduced to the US market in the late 1960s.

With a nod to the gods of ancient Rome, the Eldorado embodies the essence of Bacchus – a celebration of power, luxury, and unbridled freedom. The bike’s design is a masterful blend of nostalgic charm and cutting-edge technology, evident in its sleek lines, chrome accents, and precision-crafted details.

As you saddle up and hit the open road, the Eldorado’s 90-degree V-twin engine comes alive, its rich exhaust note and effortless power delivery making it a joy to ride. With its lower riding position, thanks to the new 16-inch spoke wheels, and generous wraparound mudguards, the Eldorado exudes a sense of sophistication and refinement.
