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

The Moto Guzzi California Stone was a cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 1999 under the Jackal designation. It was renamed Stone in 2001 and was intended to broaden the user base because the California model became opulent with high-end features and a higher price.

In 2004, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi California Stone Touring, a touring-oriented version of the basic Stone model, delivering the same classic appearance and simplicity.

The bike was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight upfront, a medium-sized windscreen for better wind protection, a dual seat, side-mounted panniers for extra storage, the same exhaust system as on other California models, and wire-spoke wheels.

It packed the same suspension system as its siblings, comprised of a 45 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and side-mounted preload-adjustable twin shock absorbers, offering excellent handling capabilities.

The bike's wheels were equipped with two 320 mm brake discs and four-piston calipers on the front and a 282 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, providing excellent stopping power.

As for power, the 2004 Moto Guzzi California Stone Touring had its soul brought to life by a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system. The engine delivered 74 hp with maximum strength at 6,400 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
