MOTO GUZZI California Titanium (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi California was a cruiser motorcycle made and marketed by Moto Guzzi from 1971 to 2021. It featured a standard riding position, floorboards, heel-and-toe shifter, and linked Brembo brakes (discontinued for the 1400 models).

In 2003, alongside the California Aluminum version, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi California Titanium, a limited-run custom version of the base model with the same classic look complemented by a titanium look.

The bike had standard features in the visual department, such as a round headlight integrated into a small cowl with a tiny windscreen, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

Besides its titanium appearance, the bike packed the exact specifications as the base model, including the suspension, brakes, and power. Also, it was fitted with the latest technologies at the time.

In the power department, the 2003 Moto Guzzi California Titanium had installed a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 74 hp at 6,400 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.

The bike's engine was married to a five-speed transmission with a dry, single-plate manual clutch that took power and sent it to the rear end via a final shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to 199 kph (124 mph).
