After 40 Years of Production Moto Guzzi Ends California Line

Moto_Guzzi_California_90Moto Guzzi recently celebrated it's 90th anniversary at Moto Guzzi World Days in Mandello del Lario, Italy. And as the company celebrated its storied past, they also said farewell to one of their most popular models. Moto Guzzi announced the final edition of the historic California model, the California 90, which goes on pre-sale today.

The limited edition California 90 will feature:

  • A color scheme with a two-colored chromium plated concept of retro California Metallic Orange / Diamond White.
  • A tank logo which reproduces the writing used by Moto Guzzi and its original designers in the 1930s.
  • An identification plate on the steering yoke that certifies the limited edition production as the final edition of the California.
  • A Cowhide saddle as comfortable as an armchair to enjoy the open road on.

The limited edition California 90 will be powered by a 1064cc 90 degree twin engine. The electric injection system has three 40 mm diameter throttle bodies, which allows the California 90 to limit emissions while providing plenty of power at low RPMs.

Moto Guzzi is Europe's oldest continuously operating motorcycle manufacturer. Here's a video about the history of this iconic company.

The Moto Guzzi California 90 will have an MSRP of $15,990 and arrives at dealers in March 2012.
