Moto Guzzi Eldorado 1400
The Moto Guzzi Eldorado 1400 has a top speed of 195 km/h (estimated), produces 96 hp and weighs 340 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
De Moto Guzzi California 1400 Eldorado werd in 2015 geïntroduceerd als een premium cruiser in Amerikaanse stijl, gebouwd op het California 1400-platform, met een 1.380 cc V-twin-motor en een focus op toercomfort en historische styling. Het was opmerkelijk omdat het een van de motorfietsen met de grootste cilinderinhoud was die Moto Guzzi ooit had geproduceerd, waarbij klassiek Italiaans vakmanschap werd gecombineerd met het cruisergenre. De Eldorado-variant onderscheidde zich met een meer retro-esthetiek, chromen details en whitewall-banden, wat aantrekkelijk was voor rijders die op zoek zijn naar een luxe en historisch geïnspireerde toermachine.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Unique V-Twin Character
The Eldorado 1400 features Moto Guzzi's iconic 90-degree transverse V-twin engine with shaft drive, eliminating chain maintenance entirely. The distinctive torque reaction during throttle inputs is a signature trait buyers either love or find surprising.
Watch the Electrical System
Early California 1400 and Eldorado models have known issues with the ride-by-wire throttle system and onboard electronics glitching, so always inspect for updated ECU software. Ensure the dealer or previous owner completed all Moto Guzzi service bulletins before purchasing.
Steep Depreciation Curve
Moto Guzzi's limited US market presence means the Eldorado 1400 depreciates faster than comparable Harley-Davidson models, making used examples strong value buys. However, resale can be slower due to a smaller buyer pool, so factor in longer selling timelines.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A deeply characterful cruiser for riders who value soul over practicality."
$9,000-$14,500 usedThe Eldorado is Guzzi's dressed-up cruiser wearing proper leather saddlebags and chrome like a 1950s Italian movie star. That 1400cc V-twin thumps with genuine character — the transverse cylinder layout means the engine rocks side-to-side at idle, which either charms you immediately or sends you straight back to your Honda. Torque delivery is lazy and satisfying, pulling hard from low revs without drama. It's genuinely comfortable for two-up touring if your passenger tolerates vibration. Buying used, inspect the bevel gear final drive religiously — it's a Guzzi trademark but needs proper maintenance intervals. Check for oil seeps around the heads, it's common and usually cosmetic but tells you how the previous owner treated it. The CARC traction control system can be glitchy on earlier examples. Parts aren't cheap and dealer networks are thin outside major cities, so budget accordingly. Avoid bikes with unknown service history — these engines reward care and punish neglect hard.
