Buyer's Guide > California 1400 Custom
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Built in Mandello del Lario, Italy, the California 1400 Custom is Moto Guzzi's version of the American cruiser. It's powered by a torquey, air-cooled, 1,380 cc eight-valve V-twin, and it's still loaded with high-tech features like ride-by-wire throttle, cruise control, traction control, and selectable ride modes (Touring, Sport, Rain). Most interestingly, despite the cruiser styling, the California handles superbly and has a motor that enchants. A surprisingly fun and usable bike.
