Is motorcycle maintenance expensive is one of those questions that keeps popping up time and time again, it is one of the first questions that aspiring motorcyclists ask, and often a controversial point because one would think that because when compared to cars, motorcycles are generally less expensive to buy, have less parts, smaller engines, only two wheels and so on.

MV Agusta Brutale 675 review - the review nobody asked for
When the Guzzi bug bites your arse, you are hooked forever!
Couldn't agree more
I want to listen to you. Not the music. I have music at home.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it, truly. Both the fact that you want to listen to me and that you took your time to comment. It's just not happening. This is still my channel and my personality, and as long as there's music in my head there's going to be music in the videos I make.
Wonder if it can be converted to a jockey shift with a recluse and quick shift clutch?
It has a single plate dry clutch, so recluse is not a thing, and in all honesty it enjoys slow shifts when you take your time, so I don't see the purpose of a quick-shifter, but that's just me. Having said that, I'm 100% sure you can build a suicide shifter and then use it like intended without turning it into a semi automatic
Chief dark house or sportster 48
Personally I'd go for the Indian because I like bigger cruisers and lots of torque but sportster definitely has it's charms especially if you a re a smaller person
Brought the first one in NZ, after years of the 1100 cali’s these are awesome. Fuck the Harley’s. The Guzzi goes around corners.
Yessir, I agree with you, it's very rideable
For goodness sake cut the music CRAP. Bike channel, NOT music channel.

The music level is overpowering your speech
Thank you for letting me know
Thanks ill be doing this next week on a new bike in a nrw area. Perfect 😅
Go for it man, and let me know how it went 💪🏽
I hope Moto Guzzi launches a new El Dorado California, with the new V100 engine or with this updated 1400. Guzzi does very well with prices; Harley's prices are ridiculous...
Although Guzzi cruisers are pretty long in the tooth, I personally doubt that a revamp is near. The 1400cc line hasn't been killing with the sales, even the range toping mgx-21. I do agree it would be very cool to have a new bike even with the new 1000cc engine, something to compete with the Nightster and the Indian Scout range, light and sporty dressed in an Italian suit
It's not the bike for riding in Dubai, it is for tight turns and elevation changes- perfect for mountain roads, low gearing it climbs well- as you say 200km legs, you'll need to refuel as it chugs it down when opened up wide everywhere. It hoses big bikes in tight stuff.
I agree, we get our share of twisty road and hill climbs but they are at least an hour away from the city, the environment requires a better highway bike, however in Europe, for what's it's much better suited it would be great. I'd still go for the street triple though if looking for older bikes, nowadays this segment is booming
@@todxbranko it depends- buying second hand you have whats available at the time to pick from- I got my 675 for $5200aud 11years old, 27,000kms odo. at the time it was the best value for me to buy. I still think it looks 100x better then the Triumph- I cant have a union jack on my tank! - even if u gave it to me! The triumph has plenty of issues itself also- but parts are easier to get. Lots of the issues you speak of are simple fixes. The cush drive is its biggest failure, the gen 1 had a good design. Bds sell a fix for the cushdrive.
About the union jack I really don't know what to say 😄 it's your prerogative, as far as the looks go, I agree, Brutale is a handsome piece of machinery. My preference to street triple is also quite subjective because I prefer the comfort of it and the smoother power delivery. I'm happy you are enjoying your Brutale, and I hope it serves you for a long time, I am sure you're having plenty of fun 😊
Oh i need to do a backwards 3 point turn out of my garage which is downhill then up hill cars parked behind immediately to the side just getting the fucking thing out for a ride is the hardest part on sports bikes it's ready these fat 300+ bikes it's hard
Good luck with that! Just reading about your situation gives me a headache 🫣 anyways if it's so difficult but absolutely necessary to turn maybe consider getting a dolly or a moving platform. They will allow you to move the bike in place without having to depend on just your front wheel turning lock.
Hey,how about cooling? On a hot day? Do you feel heat at your legs? Does it overheat on a busy summer traffic?
Hey! Thanks for the question, take note I'm in Dubai and it's always summer, so to answer - you feel the heat from the engine to some extent, but the exhaust pipes come out from the front of cylinder heads and then go under the floorboards, so there's no significant impact. Also the cylinders stick out left and right and are exposed to the airstream. And never an overheating issue like loss of power etc. There is an oil cooler and the engine takes a big amount of oil, and the gearbox has its own, and a dry clutch, that all contributes to cooling. I think as far as air-cooled machines go, and I've had a few, this one is great
Awesome
Thanks for taking the time to comment, means a lot 🙏🏽
I was looking betwen a speedmaster triumph or guzzi v7... but this bike is something else. So elegant and beautiful and loosk like it would be great for touring or crusing alike.
I agree it's a very unique piece of machinery. I haven't spent any time with a speedmaster, so I don't really know it's specific character and as such I can't say anything. I do know that engine (assuming we are talking about the 1200), and it's also a very capable one, so if cruising and touring are what you are looking for, then I think it's worth checking out. It doesn't have the power and torque of the California but it's got much less weight and I suspect it has an upper hand when it comes to agility, I believe that it's a better city bike solely in that matter. But if you are indeed looking for a cruiser then this Guzzi is definitely one to check out. Good luck with your bike hunt
Yeah kinda considered an Indian chief as well but i think this may beat that on value all day
Don't disregard the Chief, it's a great bike on its own merit, and I suspect it will keep it's resale value better, it may depend on where you are in the world. Take both for a ride and see what makes you feel better
I have noticed that if you paid the 16k for a new California youve lost over half the value by now which is stark but there is a low miles (4k) custom for sale in my town. 5999. That seems like a ton of bike for the money at this point
Absolutely if you are buying used it's great value, just make sure the maintenance is done properly, those bikes are recommended to do valve clearance on every oil change, also you will benefit from a mech that knows guzzis. But good luck man, I know you're gonna have a great time in it
Great road! Where is this? I like how the barrier adds a race track feel to it.
Thanks man! I agree, it's a favorite of mine. Road is in the UAE on a mountain called Yibir
Why do you need to feather the clutch? I dont ride motorcycles btw
Very nice to see a non-rider watch a motorcycle video, and thank you for the comment! In general clutch is feathered for more precise power delivery especially in technical riding
As a brand new rider I did learn something, I had hoped the smell was the guy going the other way
Thanks for taking the time to say a few words 😊
Props to this guy. Been answering all the questions for nearly 3 years now!
Thanks man. Information is there to be shared
tennis elbow due to motorcycle starts at 12:05
I don’t like or dislike you but I love Moto Guzzis
That's all that matters
Common ground 👍🏼
very nice, my first bike was a guzzi v7..750cc spent a year on it, went to concours 14, then suzuki C90, then VTX 1800.. now triumph trophy se..and I'm about to go after a 1400 California custom.. great looking bikes
Good luck, hope you enjoy it at least as much as I did
Do I have to hold clutch every time I brake a little ?????
Of course not. Only press the clutch if you are shifting a gear or if coming to a full stop. Otherwise, always brake with gear engaged
@@todxbranko Thank you for helping
please also enable or engage engine braking to prevent accident.
I am not sure I understand you completely, but you should always be in gear
I’m scared to ride but want to any advice I can cycle a bicycle though
Fear is a powerful thing. You will likely benefit from a good riding school/instructor, someone who can guide you on how to be safe and responsible and develop your skills gradually
I know this video is 2 years old, but how did you relocate you license plate???
It's ok, the new bracket I got online from somewhere, don't really remember, most likely just following a link from a forum, and the rear mudguard bracket I cut off, yup, couldn't just unbolt it, so it's a permanent thing if you decide to go ahead
thanks for that, half was a bit o waffle but we got there! just about to do 3 weeks on the bike, so hopefully your tips will come in useful to me
Wanted to watch the video about the bike, but could not. The annoying noise that some might call music was intolerable. It was not needed so why??
To each their own. I'm happy you at least made an effort, thanks for visiting 👍
Spectacular bike!!!
Imma alive~! Alternative and Additional considerations = do-not upset the bike, in any way, before a corner, during a corner. Shift weight, shift gear, change speed, stabalise, enter, stabalise, whatever Avoid gear 1 (even for engine braking, if need gear 1, rather burn the brakes) Avoid cam-change ranges after downshift (if cam-shifts at 6000rpm avoid downshifting into 6000rpm where brake or throttle will create stress. Cam-shift includes VTEC) Avoid turbo shifts (some dragster-styles installed things bad for stress levels), between lag to spooled Use coasting-feel of lightweightedness for maximum tire-grip without-changing gyroscopic-effect of wheels or engine (coasting-feel can be in-gear at engine-rpm matched to wheel-rpm without touching clutch-lever) Avoid braking in-corner When overcook, throttle for rear wheel to oversteer(slide), changing attack of the front, creating sideways centrifugal-force effect (not necessarily 2 wheel slide) of both tires to create big braking effect. Applies to cars too. After thinking this strategy out, apply to drag race games to check, apply to other computer games to test. Target is different (gear) shifting strategy using downhill as the benchmark for power to weight ratio controlled release-application
13000rpm redline but coast in corner at 8000rpm, missile-aim by reducing throttle gradually, as brake, to 5000rpm, after aiming, throttle to cross 6000rpm cam-shift point. Ear can hear intake roar and exhaust-note(not noise, not loud pipes) at points...
Because you use it as a daily ride,please allow me to ask can we use a Rekcluse Auto clutch with these gear boxes?Will really help on hilly rides, How is the heat? I live in a sub tropical climate, Planning to buy one of these babies for s long haul! Your insight will really help!
Don't see a point of rekcluse, these bikes have so much torque they are unlikely to stall, besides California has a single plate dry clutch just like you'd find on an average manual gearbox in a car. Heat is a non issue, as long as you keep moving, the cylinder heads pointing out have the advantage of being exposed to air circulation. Protect your legs though
Great video thanks for this now I know when going downhill I should be on second gear bcoz back then I thought 1st gear would be Ideal but it wasn't the rpm is to high so yeah great learning point. Im a beginner rider ✌️
Thanks for the Clip Branco! Really useful information.
Can someone answer this: I'm going downhill, and start gaining speed(pulled clutch). Now when I release clutch I hear motor revs go up and bike slow down a bit(engine brake?). Will this hurt clutch in any way?Then I apply both breaks gradually to almost complete stop before hairpin. Look into turn, my shoulders follow, my bike follows. Right?
Assuming you know which gear you are in and how fast you should go not to overrev a specific gear, nothing major will happen to your clutch. If you don't know which gear you are in and don't have a slipper clutch abruptly dropping the clutch and revs going up you can easily lock the rear wheel. It's safer if you stay in gear and let the bike roll
Search canyon chasers on CZcams. You will learn how to corner on a bike the right way. Has a whole video on down hill
Great commentary, l am seriously looking into buying an elderado where l knew that setting it up to suit me would be a process, even after watching your great oversight on the bike, some may call me a nut but l'm determined to make this bike right for me. Different strokes for different folks makes the world entertaining, it's why we debate these matters. Keep up the great work👍
Thank you for kind words and I wish you make it happen 💪🏼💪🏼
Great tips! Just subscribed 🙂
The pros: sexy design. The cons: dry clutch design worn out quick with friction and heat and need to dismantle engine to replace it and it will cost a fortune .parts are rare and super expensive specially cosmetics-vibration is extreemly high on idle bcz of the engine design that never changed since Guzzi was born-low technology old school mechanical architect-i dont drive mine often bcz am worry of failure.resale value is low bcz no one wants it.
Sell it to me then Transmission is bullet proof as is the final drive All 1400 clutches are pretty strong, about $1300 in Australia for the kit Parts that I've bought have been reasonable price wise with no supply issues Dealers are an issue but if you do minor mechanical stuff you should be ok Great bike
very shaking handlebar cause parkinson
hello ,what is the normal life spam for clutch to be replaced? mine ha 22000 km so when shall expectt to replace clutch
Hi, sorry for the late reply, these comments somehow slipped under my radar. I'll address all 3 comments in this reply if you don't mind. First concerning the clutch- single plate dry clutch is the same like you would get in a car, and other motorcycles like airhead/oilhead BMW boxers also had the same type of a clutch, and rarely does anyone complain of it, and they can go for hundreds of thousands of kilometers before needing replacement, so that's something you really need not worry about. Transition to reliability, Guzzi engines are simple, well lubricated, very well exposed and thus cooled, and significantly understressed so engine dying shouldn't be your concern really. Perhaps the bad reputation of Italian electronics of the late 20th century, or the poorly designed tappets of early Grisso is what makes you believe that there is a danger of breakdown, but surely if you own a Guzzi of later age there is nothing to worry about. And then the vibration - you must have noticed they disappear completely once you add throttle and when running guzzis are some of the smoothest twins you'll ever get a chance to ride, so my advice is to guve your Guzzi a chance and spend some time in the saddle, and then we can have a chat again in 50-60 thousand kilometers when nothing happens
I enjoyed your review. I bought a custom 2013 recently and enjoying every bit of it. I'm looking for a rider BACKREST but couldn't find any. Do you have an idea if there is any Universal fit backrest that works with this beast? (other than Corbin).
Thank you for the kind words, unfortunately I was not able to find a suitable riders back rest anywhere. Wish you the best of luck!
The story about Esfuni is not true😂 The name Esfuni has been taken from a very old word (Esfin) = (the flat stons in the valley). Old ppl in this area named Esfuni not the English😂
🤫🤫 don't be spreading that information around! My story is much more unbelievable, yours just makes too much sense - where's the fun in that?
Sorry, man, your analysis is far away from my own experiences. I have my Eldorado now for 5 years. I changed the seat from the beginnning, but not because of uncomfortable sitting position but because I wanted a sissy bar and a luggage rack and I also had 2 leather saddlebags and a windshield from the start. I had all my life Moto Guzzi California, first a red Cali II 1982 for 20 years and then the Cali III IEC Special Edition 1992 used, for the last over 20 years and as said now the Eldorado. And the reason that I bought the Eldorado was exactly one thing, THE SITTINGPOSITION! I tryed the new Cali, the Audace and the Eldorado (with original-seats) over months and this was the most perfect and comfortable Moto-Guzzi I ever had. 2 months ago I made 1300 km in one day and it was like nothing!!! So I think your negaitvity against the Eldorado is quite arrogant and also the way how you were acting in this video.
Don't be sorry my guy, you are perfectly entitled to your own opinion and to act how you want to, it's a free world. I stand by what I said tho - Eldorado is the worst of the 1400s, closely followed by California touring. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment 👍🏼
Very good and informative review. My only criticism is the constant looping of the background music. Annoying and takes away from what you are messaging which is interesting. I've had two Guzzis and this one really wants to be in my stable I can tell. I am always surprised on the lack of Guzzi popularity. Folks seem to always criticize their mechanics but I've never yet had a problem with mine, and I just wonder on the bad reviews and whether those people even owned one? cheers
Thanks for the input. I, in all honesty never heard anyone criticize Moto Guzzi mechanics - electronics, yes. Mech is bulletproof, engines are simple, well laid out and easy to work on. I guess the biggest drawback for many people is that the power is less than one might expect from a bike of a comparable size, and the fact that an average Guzzi is heavier than you average comparable bike. Moto Guzzi character is not the flaw you are willing to live with as it gets with some other bikes, like MV Agusta or Ducatis of old
Hey, is the sponge part touching your nose and cheeks? It is a bit annoying for me and I'm wondering if the size is right with my face.
What if there's oil or if the roads really wet on the hill? How do we stop? Or slow down. Someone said, do not use the front brake, otherwise the bike will 100% skid and fall.
Hazards on roads can happen, in those cases your best case scenario is to avoid any sudden inputs be it braking or accelerating, tires are much more capable than you gube them credit for. Having said that, learn to modulate your brakes and don't worry too much
4th trip today in a short period of time. I’m waiting for knock, knock🖕
Aren't all 2014s 6 speed?
As you can see, they aren't. These Japanese spec bikes from 2014 not only are 5 speed but still carry the CB1100A code which is the original 2010 code elsewhere in the world. Contrary to what some people may think or say, I found it to be a tractable engine and the gearbox is a good match as the gears are long, so you can rev it out in every gear, torque comes in early and when it fades you are in max power so the darn thing still pulls, no need for short shifting as you would with a twin. It could be a personal preference as well, I like long gears, especially on smooth quiet bikes that don't feel like they are working hard over 5k rpm.
As a Centauro owner I have reached a point where I want to expereience a bit of more long distance traveling , feet up front, more engine capacity, and i am looking now through the 3 1400s, the Eldorado, the Touring and the Custom, the thing is I dont always need luggage when out in the day for a couple hours, so the Custom appeals to me as a naked use, but then if i plan a 3-4 day trip, the Eldorado appeals even more, and if the idea is going on a holiday and really far, the Touring is the thing. But I can only afford one, and to me the order of choice is the one I mentioned, but still not sure....cant you mount on the Custom any kind of luggage ? Or are you doomed to use saddle bag with strips? I am a 6 footer btw
I've answered your question on the Custom comment, thank you for posting

I'm 6ft tall as well, and size is not an issue. Luggage wise you will need a backrest with a luggage rack and saddlebags would require some modifications I reckon. Maybe you should look into MGX21 instead of the California
Nice video. I looked at an Audace today and am considering it. I really like that license plate holder. Do you know where I can get one?
Unfortunately the license plate holder was installed by the first owner, I've never asked him where he got it, sorry I can't be of more help
