foretaste of the Eagle brand’s future product strategies.’
The new Moto Guzzi California ‘prototype’ is fitted with a 1400cc transverse
90-degree V-twin and Guzzi’s usual shaft drive. The new styling looks good and

older-generation California.
The V7 Scrambler 750 is the other new Guzzi. It’s
fitted with a 750cc transverse V-twin and features all the regular
