Moto Guzzi Eldorado 1400

[@dalecummings6377]

I have the last year for the 1400 Eldorado. Which is 2020. Great bike that never took off here in the States.

[@disekjoumoer]

An absolutely beautiful bike.

[@jeffmurray7448]

Yes indeed! Thanks for watching

Moto Guzzzi is a European bike, but foremost it is ITALIAN. The factory is on the shoes of beautiful Lake Como and featured the FIRST wind tunnel. Guzzi built the first V-8 motorcycle decades ago. Guzzis are so reliable and robust the California Highway Patrol used them in the 70s, including automatic versions. Hence the California model.

Thank you for you comments, I loved so much the time I spent with my Guzzi, I miss her every day

[@sprezzatura8755]

​@@jeffmurray7448you can get another one! There are plenty out there at bargain prices

Just looking at one for 9000. Great video!

[@jeffmurray7448]

Good luck!. Hope yo ugot it !!

Contemplating trading my Street Glide for an Eldorado. I've two other Guzzi and recently sold my Cali Vintage because I couldn't get on with the riding position. Think the Eldorado would be fine. Thanks for the video.

[@jeffmurray7448]

Thanks for the comment. I miss the character of the Guzzi alot. A good service dealer near me was one of the issues why I moved on. But I would not mind a stone in my garage for putting around town

Just picked up a 2014 Custom w' 4600 miles 5999!! it needed new tires but considering what 6k gets you when looking elseware around the motorcycling world how could I NOT buy this guzzi. rolling work of art. Looking forward to summer.

[@jeffmurray7448]

I miss mine for sure! ok well not the oil leak but the bike has so much character you just feel a bit special riding it. When I traded mine in for my voyager (so my wife can ride comfortably) they sold my guzzi in about a week for 7 or 8 I think so you got a great deal. Enjoy it

Gorgeous fantastic motorcycle

Nice Vid - thx for posting! I also have a 2016 Eldo (black). It's a beautiful bike. I've owned (3) Guzzi's prior going back some 50 yrs . For the missing storage space, you commented on, I installed a Givi Top Case and replaced its reflector with functional turn-signals and motion sensing brake lights (the brake strobe speed increases and is brighter the faster you decelerate)- the led light bar guts were from company called AD-More Lighting). The connection to the case lights is wireless, driven by a portable jumper battery. Its'' a heavy bike (750ish?) and if you make a mistake doing slow turns, you're not going man-handle it back upright. It's not the best slow turn performer. I had to replace the seat for my 6'4 frame as it was just too short for my comfort. I also spent some $$$$ on upgrades. I added a new ECU, custom pipe from Guzzi Tech, not only is the engine much more responsive the engine temp has been noticeably cooler. I also added new front and rear Matris shocks, sticky Cobra whitewalls and front and rearview cams .. it's truly and awesome and exciting bike! . My biggest complaint is the wide girth ...o it's like sitting on horse - You''All Stay Safe and avoid sudden stops~!**** pics of bike can be seen on Im gur site (w/o spaces) - look up "2016 moto guzzi eldorado"

[@wesleighlin8887]

dude it would be awesome to see your bike, do you have it online anywhere?

[@jeffmurray7448]

wow, yes agree it would be good to see pictures of your machine. Sounds like a worthy transformation !!

Pretty bike. Needs to be ridden more.

[@jeffmurray7448]

yes. I plan on doing that in the spring when the weather improves in texas !!

Where can I get that back leather bag you have on your moto Guzzi

[@jeffmurray7448]

Here is where I got it, shows unavailable now but might be some similar www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098K2TD4S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@Audace1400]

Nice review. Have you checked the valve clearances since you've owned it?

[@jeffmurray7448]

When I first purchased the bike I took it an authorized dealer and they adjusted them at about 4K miles. I think it is due for a check. thanks for the reminder

[@homeontherange733]

@@jeffmurray7448 The valves are easy to adjust on the eldorado. The valve adjustments are "screw and lock type". I was jacking up the back tire. Rotating the tire etc. Then i found this video clip on an even easier way to do it. I adjust my valves according to the manual. 6000 miles. So when i change my fluids at 6000 miles, i do the valves too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIHGo6Zulp6eoq8

Beautiful bike, Great review, Cute fur baby. Enjoy the adventures! I've been doing some research on the Moto Guzzi California. Saddle bags and a windscreen would be of great importance to me as well. They offer a variety of options for those. Even a factory performance exhaust system. Blessings from Georgia USA 🙏🏼 🪶 👆

[@jeffmurray7448]

yea, I miss having that bike now and then however service for it was important and a bit of a drive (and not a fun one) from me. When I can accept that I need more than one bike I might get a stone for running around town. We will see. Thanks so much for your comment

[@204farid]

Great review. What is your height?

[@jeffmurray7448]

I am 6'1" and find a bit of adjustment from the drifter which was a bigger bike I think. I can make my knees touch the cylinder heads if I try but I have a good amount of room.

[@204farid]

@@jeffmurray7448 I am 6'2" and my Eldorado will reach to me in 1 month. Hope I'll fit :P

[@jeffmurray7448]

@@204farid great, let me know how you like it.

@@jeffmurray7448 I’m 6’4” and had to make a custom seat as the stock ones just too short for me..the Eldorado has a wide frame compared to most other bikes I’m familiar with…it’s almost like sitting on a horse lol

[@Bduh2]

It has already been 39 years since I had to give up my Moto Guzzi California II due to a severe rear-ending as a passenger in a station wagon. Go figure...

[@jeffmurray7448]

bummer, these bikes have a place in my heart! thanks for watching

[@dstjepan]

No Sir! Peugoet is the oldest motorcycle company… Spike (form yammie noob ex partner) also ignorant about this. Are you to lazy to research!

Thanks for the correction.
