California 1100 family (1994-2012)

Generation

The long-running 1100 family uses the 1,064 cc V-twin across EV, Jackal, Stone, Special and Vintage versions. Explicit California 1100 listings belong to the separate California 1100 canonical family; this broad row remains historical context for unspecified California listings.

Years

1987 - 1993

California III (1987-1993)

Generation

The third generation gained a lower cruiser profile, cast wheels on many versions and later fuel-injected variants. It retains the 949 cc big block but looks clearly newer than the California II.

Years

1982 - 1986

California II (1982-1986)

Generation

The California II grew to 949 cc and gained torque and comfort while retaining the Tonti frame and linked brakes. Larger cylinders and the II designation distinguish it from the T3.

California T3 (1975-1981)

The California T3 uses the 844 cc big-block V-twin, linked brakes and classic police-touring equipment. Spoked wheels, metal luggage and the early Tonti frame define this generation.

About this model

About the Moto Guzzi California

The Moto Guzzi California is a cruiser built around the brand's signature transverse 90° V-twin with shaft drive. Introduced in 1971 for the Los Angeles Police Department, it stayed in production until 2021 across multiple generations: 850 GT, California II/III, the 1100i family, and finally the 1400 Touring and Custom. Floorboards, a low seat and a relaxed riding position define the line as a long-haul cruiser with unmistakable Italian character.

The California targets riders who want a European alternative to the typical American V-twin tourer. The low seat height and the easy throttle response make it a comfortable two-up tourer, provided you can manage the 270+ kg curb weight. Period competitors include the Harley-Davidson Touring family, Honda Goldwing F6B and BMW R 1200 CL. On the Dutch used market the 1100i and 1400 Touring versions are most common; earlier carbureted 850 and 1000 examples turn up regularly with classic enthusiasts.

Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Check the rear bevel/cardan housing for play and oil leaks; rebuild work is time-consuming.
  • Inspect alloy and spoked wheels on older generations (II/III/1100) for corrosion and hairline cracks.
  • Cold-start the gearbox and shift through all gears; high-mileage units can baulk into second.
  • Look closely at chrome and exhaust headers for rust, especially on bikes that have been stored outside.
  • On fuel-injected models (1100i, 1400) verify throttle body sync and idle stability; uneven cylinder balance causes a heavy-thumping idle.
