Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom 2013 vs. Moto Guzzi MGX-21 2016

Moto Guzzi MGX-21 2016

With the MGX-21, the Italians are now bringing an absolute highlight to the market - both for Moto Guzzi and for the entire motorbike industry. The design by the gifted Miguel Galluzzi is discreet and eye-catching at the same time, and the carbon elements reinforce the elitist touch. However, they do nothing to reduce weight, as one is accustomed to with carbon; at over 360 kilos fully fuelled, the MGX-21 is a really heavy lump. Nevertheless, it behaves very predictably in driving, only the huge 21-inch front wheel takes a little getting used to. The engine and chassis, however, come from the well-known California 1400 series and therefore do an excellent job. The price of around 28,000 euros in Austria makes it clear, however, that the Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Flying Fortress will certainly not be available to everyone.
