Moto Guzzi 1400 California Touring

Moto Guzzi 1400 California Touring 2014

Let’s start with the bad news , this vehicle was written off as a non structural cosmetic damage ( CAT N ) in 2021 . -Why ?  parts costs .  The good news is that with a little knowledge and a smart attitude, rather than the retail new parts cost that insurers use , it was completely repairable-at a fraction of the cost and has accordingly been done.     I bought this bike as a CAT N in 2023 after I got pictures and a report from the recovery dealer Copart UK ....    Listed damage -head light damaged - scuffed  (repaired ) , pannier right hand crash bar damaged- scuffed ( repaired ) , right hand pannier damaged - scuffed ( repaired ) windscreen damaged - cracked ( replaced ) right hand engine crash bar damaged- scuffed and bent  ( replaced ) , damaged windscreen mounting - bent and cracked ( repaired) right hand spot lamp damaged - dented ( repaired ) rear rack and top box damaged- bent and scuffed ( rack replaced , top box repaired  . Front forks damaged - scuffed and bent ( repaired and refurbished )  . Front mudguard damaged- cracked  ( repaired ) .    I bought this bike from KH motorcycles in Nottingham as a CAT N , I have pictures or the damage listed by K&H and pictures from Copart when recovered , before the repairs .    I had the valve covers painted  red during rebuild , and the notorious front fork corrosion addressed during the fork rebuild.    Engine filters and oils , plugs , value clearances etc all done at rebuild , which is less than 2k mileage ago . MOT’ d till July but happy to get a fresh MOT for new owner . With only 16k miles from new, it's not even run in ! This bike has cruise control , heated grips and Lafranconi  sports exhausts spec’d from new, which sound lovely ( with the DB killers in,lovely meaty sound  , DB killers out … loud ! )  this bike also now has the aftermarket small rack with integrated pillion rear back rest ( currently fitted ) and the large rear rack with the exceptionally expensive (2500 GBP’s) luxury large rear top box , which will take 2 helmets .      Comes with its service book and owners manual , 2 keys . Purchase receipt from KH motorcycles  ,various old MOT’s ,pictures of damage before repair .    Priced accordingly as a CAT N , this is a whole lot of bike for sensible money that’s been put back to a clean bill of health .    This bike is in exceptional condition and I am only selling as I have another 5 Guzzi’s and an old BMW . This just doesn’t get ridden it’s really too modern for me but I always wanted to try one, I wasn’t disappointed .    

Located 5mins from yJ21A on the M1 in Leicestershire. Kettle always on . 

Happy to send images of prior damage to interested parties 

Would consider a T3 Cali in part ex cash either way .
