Description

Here we have a 1994 Moto Guzzi California 3 with 32,250 miles on the clock. I bought this as a project bike back in January and was really just interested in the frame and the engine which are both good. Since my priorities have changes since lockdown i have decided not to go ahead with the build so am offering the bike for sale for someone to either put it back to original condition, use it as a donor bike or enjoy the rest of the summer on it. I have been riding it about a bit and just took it for its MOT which it failed due to the rear brake not locking up sufficiently which is due to old pads which i am replacing all round. Also been advised the front tire is rubbing on the mud guard which i think is over inflation of the wheel. This will need to be addressed by the new owner as it will need a new wheel. The rear wheel is good with plenty of tread left on it.The bike came with no past service records or paperwork and has had 11 previous owners. You can see from the past MOT history its been SORN for a number of years and only covered a few thousand miles since 2005. It rides well with no oil leaks and ticks over nicely. Anyone who knows about these bikes knows the engines are basically bullet proof and many many more miles left in this one. The body work isn't in great condition and it wont be eligible for any beauty awards but it is all there. The bike came to me with the front screen and rear luggage rack and top box and paniers which are all included in the sale. Viewings are welcome and will let the auction run its course so no buy it now price. Thank you and happy bidding!On 04-Jul-20 at 12:09:37 BST, seller added the following information: Here is the update - Have had new pads fitted and sorted out the front wheel issue. The result is this bike now has a full12 months MOT. Have just ridden it back from the testing station and its purring along nicely.On 07-Jul-20 at 09:56:58 BST, seller added the following information: Also would like to add that this in a fuel injection model - i believe the first of them.
