Moto Guzzi California EV Touring (2004 - ) review

Still a stylish, traditional machine, but now with added protection from the elements and luggage capacity
Simple design and an almost classic style
Old fashioned looks and old fashioned performance

Basically the same as the California, the EV touring comes with panniers and an even bigger screen than the stone to deflect even more bugs away
