MOTO GUZZICalifornia 1100 EV 1997 - 1998

　　The Moto Guzzi California was a naked cruiser machine made by Moto Guzzi in 1971 to replace the Moto Guzzi 850 GT and continued production until 2021. The manufacturer produced a version almost continuously from 1971 to 2021.

　　In 1997, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi California 1100 EV, the latest interpretation of the long-running California series. It was refined and improved with quality finishes and was essentially the same as previous models.

　　Two versions were available for the EV model, including the basic model with chromed engine bars, a cruiser-style sissy bar, and a pulled-back handlebar, and the touring version fitted with a large windscreen.

　　In the visual department, the 1993 EV version had installed standard features, such as a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat with a small passenger backrest, a small luggage rack, a dual exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

　　The 1993 Moto Guzzi California 1100 EV had installed a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine at its core, boasting 74 hp with a peak force at 6,400 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.

　　All the power generated by the engine was sent to a five-speed manual transmission that sent it to the rear end via a final shaft drive, pushing the bike to a top speed of 190 kph (118 mph).
