MOTO GUZZI California Stone (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Moto Guzzi from 1971 as a replacement model for the Moto Guzzi 850 GT and continued production until 2021. The bike featured a standard seating position, linked Brembo brakes, floorboards, and a heel-and-toe shifter.

Over its production period, the California model was made in several versions, like the California Stone, which debuted in 1999 under the Jackal designation. It was intended to be more affordable than the California model, which became opulent with high-end features.

In 1999, the bike was named California Jackal, while in 2001, it was renamed California Stone. Later, it was called just Stone to be further differentiated on a marketing level.

In 2004, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi California Stone, a cruiser motorcycle developed to broaden the user base. It packed the same specifications as previous models without any modifications.

The suspension and braking system was retained from previous models, including a 45 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers. In contrast, the rear end was controlled by two side-mounted, preload-adjustable shocks and a 282 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper.

As for the power figures, the 2004 Moto Guzzi California Stone had its heartbeat set by a 1.064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 74 hp with a peak force at 6,400 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
