Hello, I am anxiously awaiting some paperwork from a dealer in Ohio to complete my purchase of the subject motorcycle. This bike was previously owned by a member here based upon wht I have found in the site's VIN registry. Apparently there are not a lot of 2020 California 1400 Touring owners in this group as there is only one listed and that is the one I am purchasing! :) If the original owner is willing to communicate with me I would love to ask a few questions about it because it has an aftermarket exhaust installed as well as a custom windscreen. Would like to know if any remapping has been done as a result of the exhaust changeover and anything else that might help me enjoy the bike more than I already anticipate :) Looking forward to reporting on the fun of getting delivery of the bike and my first impressions as well as some photos of course. I am moving over to the Guzzi from a 2004 BMW R1200CLC and not because the Beemer isn't a blast. But the Guzzi California was what I was searching for when I bought the 2-year old BMW back in 2006. Just could not find the Guzzi I wanted back then so now I am forced to own a beautiful 2020 version rather than a mid 20's version! Oh well! Today I called the dealer salesman to have him confirm the two keys coming with the bike will operate and start the machine. I was concern after reading horror stories about people getting stuck with only one key etc. Thankfully the salesman reported bac that in fact both keys do work and that they reset the personal code for me and gave me the code! Whew! That's a load of my mind and now the New Year promises to provide me with my long-awaited Moto Guzzi California experience. Can't wait and I also can tell this forum will be as much if not more help to me as the BMW Chromeheads have been to me over the years. Happy New Year everyone!
