This is the most impressive model in the entire Moto Guzzi line. The California III is a direct decendent of the police motorcycles designed and build by Moto Guzzi for the California highway patrol and Los Angeles police departament. Despite the floorboards, the California has more cornering clearance than most foot-peg-equipped cruisers. The arrangement of the foot controls is awkward, however, and you must lift your feet off the boards to shift gears or use the brake pedal. | |||
