MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA 1400 TOURING

In Moto Guzzi's words, they
"created MGX-21 to make you
feel today what others will only
experience tomorrow. MGX,
known as Moto Guzzi eXper-
imental; 21 makes reference
to the year the first motorcycle
came out of the Mandello del
Lario factory. Or, if you prefer,
21, like the inches of its front
lenticular carbon fiber wheel."
A fancy way of saying it's the
high-tech steed of their cruiser
stable.
Think of the California Touring
as the Captain America to the
MGX-21's Iron Man. Being a
bagger, it's more traditional
than its cousin but packs a
healthy amount of muscle. It's
also equipped with advanced
electronic control systems such
as traction control, ABS, and
the new full Ride-By-Wire ac-
celerator. It also boasts a brand
new frame with an elastic
engine mounting system that
cuts down vibration transfer
and may eliminate it entirely.
