2015 Moto Guzzi Bikes Turn Heads At 2014 EICMA
The Italian motorcycle manufacturer Moto Guzzi made a splash at the
2014 EICMA exhibit
by giving the public its first look on the three new motorcycles
being added to its lineup, Cycle World reported.
The company revealed a different versions of the California 1400
Touring, as well as two new bikes that are in vein of the classic touring
cruiser motorcycles. These bikes certainly grabbed the
attention of cruiser fanatics and Moto Guzzi was proud to showcase
the new variations to its lineup.
Vintage Muscle: Moto Guzzi Audace

Those searching for an ideal
muscle-postured motorcycle might not have to look much further than
the Moto Guzzi Audace. This version from the Italian manufacturer
stands out among all the other models with a blacked-out styling,
classic cruiser round headlight and carbon front fender that gives
this bike an absolute sleek and stylish appearance, Motorcycle.com
reported.
The Audace's seat is lower than the California 1400's and the
footboards and rocker shifter were removed from the motorcycle and
replaced with mounted pegs. The adjusted footpegs and lower seat
will give riders that classic feel of a more stretched-out riding
position. The oversized 200/65 rear-tire is
the cherry on top for this classic ride.
The Audace should be a bit faster than the rest of the California
1400 versions, with less weight and the Euro 4-approved megaphone
exhausts that will have riders rumbling down streets.
Classic '60s: Moto Guzzi Eldorado

The Moto Guzzi Eldorado is perfect for
riders wanting a traditional American-looking '60s sportsbike, but
crafted with the appearance fit for 2015 as well, Motorcycle USA
reported. The Fat-Boy appearing motorcycle has longer fenders,
"bullhorn" handlebars and a heavy-duty USD fork.
The 16-inch spoke wheels and a smaller 180mm rear wheel allow the
saddle to be much wider and lower than the standard California
1400. According to the source, the seat height on the Eldorado is
only 28.5 inches from the ground. The bike has a smaller pillion
pad, passenger grab handles and rider floorboards, which are
not found on the Audace.
The round turn signals and "gem-shaped" taillight give the bike a
classy presence, the source reported. Additionally, the pinstriped
tank and fenders are certainly making this bike look like a
flashback to the American-style motorcycle. The Eldorado comes with
chrome accents on the headlight trip and on the massive pipes
moving down the bike.
Long-hauling: Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring SE

The Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring SE
is a special edition motorcycle released by the Italian
manufacturer to give touring riders a bike they can rely on for the
long haul, Motorcycle.com reported. The Touring SE has a passenger
backrest and chrome handles like the Eldorado, but passengers will
have more comfort for long trips and rides.
The Touring SE comes with the trifecta of headlights to give
nightriders the most visible roadway and a windshield for debris
protection. According to the source, the SE is nearly identical to
the California Touring model expect it has a two-tone painted
theme, passenger back-rest
and grab bars, and a chrome-plated steel fork.
As of now, Moto Guzzi hasn't released the price on any of the
motorcycles.
