The Moto Guzzi California 1400 was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Moto Guzzi in 2013. It was presented on November 15, 2012, at the 70th EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan and released into the world in 2013.
Over its production period, the Moto Guzzi California 1400 was available in several versions, including the California 1400 Touring, Custom, Audace 1400, Eldorado 1400, and MGX-21.
In 2013, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring, a more touring-oriented motorcycle than the California Custom base model. In addition, the bike featured several touring accessories that enhanced its overall cruising capabilities.
The bike came with standard features such as an oval-shaped headlight along with two passing lights, a large windscreen, a wide pulled-back handlebar, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, side-mounted panniers, a dual exhaust system, and multi-spoke alloy wheels.
Also, the bike came with the latest technology from the House of Mandello del Lario, such as an Anti-Lock Braking System, Traction Control, a ride-by-wire system, and a three-mode engine mapping that provided smooth power delivery.
In the performance department, the 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring had installed a 1,380cc four-stroke V-twin air/oil-cooled engine at its core. The engine was wired to a fuel injection system, delivering 96 hp with a peak force at 6,500 rpm and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.
