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.
