The Moto Guzzi California 1400 was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Moto Guzzi in several versions: The California 1400 Touring, California 1400 Custom, Audace 1400, Eldorado 1400, and MGX-21.
In 2014, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring, a more touring-oriented machine than the base Custom model. It came with the same package as the previous model without modifications.
The Touring version was equipped with standard features, like an oval-shaped headlight along with two passing lights, a large windscreen, a wide pulled-back handlebar, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, side-mounted panniers, a dual exhaust system, and multi-spoke alloy wheels.
Regarding technology, the motorcycle was fitted with the latest ones from the House of Mandello del Lario, including an Anti-Lock Braking System, Traction Control, a ride-by-wire system, and a three-mode engine mapping that provided smooth power delivery.
As for the power figures, the 2014 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring had its soul brought to life by a 1,380cc four-stroke V-twin air/oil-cooled engine, boasting 96 hp with a peak force at 6,500 rpm and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.
The bike's power was kept on the leash with the help of two 320 mm stainless steel floating discs coupled to four-piston Brembo calipers on the front wheel and a 282 mm stainless steel fixed disc tied to a two-piston floating Brembo caliper on the rear wheel.
