Moto Guzzi's profilation of this bike
The California Black Eagle keeps the California’s 1100cc V-Twin engine while its clean lines create a utilitarian cruiser classic. The Coal Black matte color treatment applied to the bodywork emphasizes the contrast with the aluminum cylinders and the chrome applied in key areas. The finishing touch is a historical Moto Guzzi badge on the tank.
