Similar to the Audace and California 1400. The Eldorado is a cruiser motorcycle. I have owned this bike for 3 years and here is a quick overview and ride along review. I previously owned a 1999 Kawasaki Drifter 1500 which I loved but time for an upgrade in safety and tech. In this video I will walk through features, do a warm up ride and thoughts on likes and wishes after 3 years of ownership.
Link to Jerry "Motorman" Palladino who I credit with inspiring me to be a better rider. Thanks Jerry.

I miss mine for sure! ok well not the oil leak but the bike has so much character you just feel a bit special riding it. When I traded mine in for my voyager (so my wife can ride comfortably) they sold my guzzi in about a week for 7 or 8 I think so you got a great deal. Enjoy it

It has already been 39 years since I had to give up my Moto Guzzi California II due to a severe rear-ending as a passenger in a station wagon. Go figure...

Nice Vid - thx for posting! I also have a 2016 Eldo (black). It's a beautiful bike. I've owned (3) Guzzi's prior going back some 50 yrs . For the missing storage space, you commented on, I installed a Givi Top Case and replaced its reflector with functional turn-signals and motion sensing brake lights (the brake strobe speed increases and is brighter the faster you decelerate)- the led light bar guts were from company called AD-More Lighting). The connection to the case lights is wireless, driven by a portable jumper battery. Its'' a heavy bike (750ish?) and if you make a mistake doing slow turns, you're not going man-handle it back upright. It's not the best slow turn performer. I had to replace the seat for my 6'4 frame as it was just too short for my comfort. I also spent some $$$$ on upgrades. I added a new ECU, custom pipe from Guzzi Tech, not only is the engine much more responsive the engine temp has been noticeably cooler. I also added new front and rear Matris shocks, sticky Cobra whitewalls and front and rearview cams .. it's truly and awesome and exciting bike! . My biggest complaint is the wide girth ...o it's like sitting on horse - You''All Stay Safe and avoid sudden stops~!**** pics of bike can be seen on Im gur site (w/o spaces) - look up "2016 moto guzzi eldorado"

Beautiful bike, Great review, Cute fur baby. Enjoy the adventures! I've been doing some research on the Moto Guzzi California. Saddle bags and a windscreen would be of great importance to me as well. They offer a variety of options for those. Even a factory performance exhaust system. Blessings from Georgia USA 🙏🏼 🪶 👆

yea, I miss having that bike now and then however service for it was important and a bit of a drive (and not a fun one) from me. When I can accept that I need more than one bike I might get a stone for running around town. We will see. Thanks so much for your comment

Nice review. Have you checked the valve clearances since you've owned it?

@jeffmurray7448 Жыл бұрын

When I first purchased the bike I took it an authorized dealer and they adjusted them at about 4K miles. I think it is due for a check. thanks for the reminder

@@jeffmurray7448 The valves are easy to adjust on the eldorado. The valve adjustments are "screw and lock type". I was jacking up the back tire. Rotating the tire etc. Then i found this video clip on an even easier way to do it. I adjust my valves according to the manual. 6000 miles. So when i change my fluids at 6000 miles, i do the valves too. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLaTpdZpxp_PnIE.html

I am 6'1" and find a bit of adjustment from the drifter which was a bigger bike I think. I can make my knees touch the cylinder heads if I try but I have a good amount of room.
