Moto Guzzi Bikes - Moto Guzzi Nevada Classic 750

A treat for the eyes, easy to ride, and with that unmistakable, slightly retro look that never ceases to please, the Nevada Classic 750 is the definitive custom. The Guzzi philosophy of totally relaxed riding is perfectly embodied in this model that has been constantly improved over the years in both looks and technology. Intuitive ridability and low speed control are two of the Nevada's strong points, both facilitated by the low seat height of just 760 mm. The Nevada is a joy to ride around town too, thanks to a perfectly balanced chassis that delivers pace-setting agility. The Nevada's equipment compares favourably with far bigger bikes, as its Marzocchi front fork, two adjustable rear shock absorbers, and modern LCD display conclusively prove. Safety is absolute too, thanks to a braking system based on a 320 mm front disc and caliper with four opposed pistons, and a 260 mm rear disc. Now the already generous characteristics of the Nevada's engine have been further enhanced by a precision electronic injection system that has been remapped to reduce emissions. A new catalytic converter with a higher concentration of noble metals (increased from 70 to 140 g/ft³) has also contributed to cleaner exhaust gases.

Moto Guzzi California Vintage

Over thirty-five years have gone by since its introduction, but the Moto Guzzi California continues to play a leading role in the collective imagination of motorcyclists all over the world. When the California was first introduced back in 1971, the market for customs was split between original motorcycles and Japanese imitations. But then Moto Guzzi introduced a machine with a powerful personality, based on the tried and tested frame of the V7 Special and the legendary 90° V twin engine, with a capacity of 757 cc. This frame/engine combination proved such a tremendous international success that it was eagerly adopted by the L.A.P.D. (Los Angeles Police Department), and later by police departments in other American States. The rest is history – and legend.

A familiar protagonist in films and advertisements, the California has every right to be considered as one of the few objects of industrial design that have left a permanent mark. The California's wheels have never stopped, and neither has its development. Year after year, the bike's looks and technology have been updated without altering its original character and spirit. Now, 35 years after its introduction, Moto Guzzi has decided to pay tribute to the amazing California by creating an exclusive Vintage version, dedicated to modern riders who want to continue the dream. The styling is obviously retro, as you can see from the stunning spoked wheels, redesigned steel mudguards, new Brembo front calipers, supplementary fog lights controlled from the right hand switch block, windshield with stainless steel trim, shiny chrome handlebars and two-tone seat. The fixed panniers are a further sign of distinction. Made from rotational nylon, they are fully waterproof with inner linings, and are protected against impact by robust chromed steel tube of the same type used for the luggage rack.
