Over its production time, the Moto Guzzi California 1400 was manufactured 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.
Also in 2014, in addition to the Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring SE, a special edition version of the base model.
The SE version was designed to fit the taste of riders who prefer a more classic touch on their machines, with lots of 1970s DNA embedded in its design. In addition, the bike was fitted with a passenger backrest, grab rails, and a two-tone paint scheme.
The 2014 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring SE packed the same 1,380cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled V-twin engine as the base model, delivering 96 hp with a peak force at 6,500 rpm and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.
The bike packed a 46 mm telescopic fork on the front and preload-adjustable twin shock absorbers on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.
As for the braking power, the motorcycle featured two 320 mm discs on the front coupled to four-piston calipers and a 282 mm disc tied to a dual-piston caliper.
