MOTO GUZZI California Titanium (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi California was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured and sold 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).

The bike was made in numerous versions, like the Moto Guzzi California Titanium that debuted in 2003 alongside the Moto Guzzi California Aluminum. It was a limited-run custom version of the base model, sharing its technical and performance specifications.

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.

The bike was made around a double-cradle steel frame designed to keep the machine stuck to the ground. It packed a 45 mm adjustable Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and twin preload-adjustable shock absorbers on the rear.

The braking power was achieved by two 320 mm Brembo discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front wheels and a 282 mm disc with a double-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent braking performance.

As for the power figures, the 2005 Moto Guzzi California Titanium had its soul brought to life by a 1,064cc air-cooled V-twin transverse engine that delivered 74 hp at 6,400 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
