Can't be the only one who came here for a quality ride review rather than an interview about the design

I met Miguel while I was working for Guzzi as a demo ride leader at Sturgis last week. He is a very down to earth and pleasant man to visit with. I commend him on his design of the new MGX-21 and I wish him and Guzzi well on their future and congratulate them on a great new bike.

I ride a Street Glide and live in So. Cal. and I take a lot of crap from my Harley buddies because I'm always saying how much I dig the Moto Guzzi's, lol. I just think their styling is pretty cool, but my friends look at me like I've lost my mind, lol. Someday I will add a Guzzi to the stable, lol. Chow baby!!!

Great video. I didn't know Miguel Galuzzi helped design the new California model, it's a beauty! I thought he designed the new V-7's as well, but there is no mention of it. As for a bike for myself, I'm not sure whether to get a Guzzi or a BMW. I like the Stelvio and the Breva, but I also like the BMW R 1200 R and the GS bikes. I presently have a '79 Ducati Darmah, but I would like to have something more modern too. Decisions, decisions… Cheers, Rob

Why does my MG California gears so noisy when shifting? When the engine is warm, shifting gets a loud clanging sound. Very embarrassing for me.

Jon Quirk Thank YOU for making these awesome videos. I have a recommendation. Have you ever featured a Royal Enfield motorcycle in one of your videos? I rode my cousin's Royal Enfield Classic 500 (C5) for a week and it was a blast to ride. Fun and nimble. They have also recently launched their new Cafe Racer (Continental GT) and it has been getting a lot of spotlight. I would love to see your take on that. Thanks again. Love from India!

Thanks again, Aamir Sanwari. I cannot wait to ride the Royal Enfield Continental GT. I first saw it at this year's Goodwood Revival, so when the UK weather sorts itself out, I'll be sure to arrange a test ride! Best regards, J

I agree! Forrasobs that escape me, most moto journalists fail to ask questions rhat help the viewerubdwrstand dully what a certain bike is all about. Not these guys I bought a new Cali Custom1400 for exactly the same reaaons that they rate this bike so gigh. In mu forty plus yeara Of motorcycles, I never have had that happen.

Why don't they make a bike for with a 25 or 26 inch seat height which is nessasary for many riders.

Salacious Crumb Yes, but California has far better weather over all. And as for riding roads, I guess Florida is OK if you like to just go straight on flat roads. I think their highest point would be considered a speed bump in California.

Kevin Phillips actually guzzi have more lean angle than a common cruiser, especially the older california’s. And they also have the highest seat height compared to other cruisers.

If Moto Guzzi could put the transmission out of the Motus motorcycle it would be great. It would solve the rear main seal issue, the clutch issue. What I mean by that is breaking the bike completely down. Just my O.

alexander kasady Don't get me wrong, the moto guzzi looks snazzy. I ride a Harley Nightrod and a Triumph ThruxtonR. My harley would destroy the guzzi...more power, less weight...but it does look nice...
@alexanderkasady6839
@alexanderkasady6839 6 жыл бұрын
For me, it's more than just quarter-mile times or top speed figures. It's the sound and the feel, it's the surge of power when you roll on the throttle at mid-range. It's also about the nimbleness with which you can flip the bike from one extreme lean angle to the other and still having a bike that exhibits stability and predictability. It's the aggressive, tucked-in riding position... (sigh)... it's so much more than just who's fastest. I'm 72 years old and I've a long history with motorcycles, and one of the gems of wisdom that I've collected is that the pursuit of owning the fastest 750, or whatever your favorite size, is a fool's game. No matter how fast your bike, inevitably there's going to be a faster one along at any minute. It's a race you'll never win. No one does. It's like this: if your bike has to possess 140 h.p. to be exciting, then you're riding a very dull bike indeed. I worked at a Suzuki-Kawasaki dealership as a salesman/manager and I've ridden some pretty fast bikes, but once you slow down, you're bored to tears. The most exciting ride of my life was my first ride, a 'round-the-block ride on a borrowed Honda 50 Sport. Top speed of 50 m.p.h., IF you're all tucked in under the paint and have a long enough of a straight (a nice long downhill helps) and I was hooked for life. I've never forgotten that ride. I value it more than my first piece of ass. Seriously.

alexander kasady I agree..power is just a part of the equation. The most exciting ride was a 150 vespa..many many years ago, and after dozens of motorcycle of any brand, type and power, a vespa still gives the same feelings, and it's just 8HP... Guzzi's motorcycles do the same...
