Guzzi California anyone?

[greenmonster]

Loving my Multi but ergos are not so comfortable, thinking maybe a Cali would be better as age stiffens my bones etc.
Looking at 1999-2002 models, good brakes, adjustable (well... ) suspension, well documented 1.5 ecu, non hydro etc.
Older too weak brakes, newer too expensive.

Seating position looks abit funny w quite low seat and feet forward, how`s that?
Jackal pegs better? Could they be moved rearwards?
Wind screen any good or turbulence generator?
And I guess the engine is more tractor than the lively, perfect   Duc 1100 2V.

Test rode a Diavel I worked on. It was very comfortable for my 5'8" 90kg frame and wow did it go!

Probably lovely but too expensive for me.

Noone w Cali experience?

From what I've read the newer models are getting big and heavy. There was an era when they were light (for a cruiser) and handled the way a Guzzi should. I'll have a look around. Back in the day I thought about getting one when I was into HD's after riding one and couldn't believe how light and agile they were in comparison. The brakes were a revelation.

Even the older Brembos felt awesome compared to the rubbish HD used to fit.
