However, the Scrambler could have a better shaped tank..

Wow!! I like both of them. the tank looks fine on the scrambler to me.
At least here is a company that is producing bikes that don't look like they are out of a transformers movie!

I could see myself on one of those scramblers for sure.

whats the RRP?

The Cali looks nice, I always thought it was a bike with a lot of potential. Mag wheels beefier engine and different to most other things out there. If it has a decent finish and lectrics and a good dollop of grunt, it could be a winner.

At this stage, are prototypes, but more likely to get in production than those 3 beautiful concept machines displayed months ago.

The 1400 engine in a sports chassis could be cool.

I do love the look of the California. I would put one in the garage, as my alternative bike.

The California does nothing for me at all, but the Scrambler definitely has a bit of retro cool going on and I even like the shape of the tank!

Only 7 posts and widely differing opinions - just goes to show, different strokes etc.

Guzzi's are made for people with ...err..."different" tastes...

Ha, some people hav the ability to talk????

Yea I dont mind these things, the scrambler would be great with a little bigger engine? The cali's engine does look nice, The line of the bike, yea similer but differing. The wheels are kinda cool move from wire.

I wanna see somthing more of those prototypes that were shown a few years back, they were mighty funky.

yeah not bad, and the scrambler tank is the same shape MG have had since the mk1, I like it. The Callie's engine looks like Dr Johns big block bastard of a thing.

ps: liking ya siggie man, weird rather than nice LOL

Like the scrambler but the engine looks like it needs to grow up (just like the new V7) & I hope the forks aren't too spindly for those of us that'll get lead up the garden path much nicer looking pipes & bike then the trumpy scrambler
The cali doesn't get my vote.

Personallly I like the V7 styling but I do prefer the previous/current Cali for looks. I may change my mind if I saw them in the metal though.

I like the V7 Cafe as well, but I'd prefer the cylinder finning to be more traditional, the square look makes the engine seem a bit small.

I like the exhaust on the scrambler but you guys are right about the engine- it looks puny. The gas tank is the same as all the classic range and is made from nylon so it should deform nicely with our wonderful fuels
I rode a V7 Classic last year as a demo and boy was it gutless, the front brake is crap as well. They look nice in pictures but go see one in the flesh and they look buget- cheapo looking plastic everywhere.
Guzzi were the first with a retro bike- 1000S and that was a good machine if you got one with the big carb/valve engine, check the prices of them second hand 20 years on and a tidy one goes for more than they were brand new.. doubt these bikes will be that sort of investment.

I am going to build a small block bike similar to the V7 classic, I have a 750 small block engine and a V50 frame...just got so many other things on the boil right now and my cheap rego Guzzi sleeper is first priority- $115 a year rego makes it important enough to be first in line. Screw ACC and their bastard levies
