MOTO GUZZICalifornia Aluminum 2002 - 2003

　　In 2003, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer introduced the Moto Guzzi California Aluminum and Titanium, two custom versions of the standard model presented in honor of the colors that explicitly refer to the two noble metals.

　　In the visual department, the motorcycle was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, a dual exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

　　The bike featured an aggressive, lean, and mean design, complemented by the updated V-twin engine with self-adjusting valves. In addition, the bike packed high-end features, such as Brembo Gold Series brakes, an integral braking system, and a custom luminescent finish.

　　As for power, the Moto Guzzi California Aluminum had its soul brought to life by a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine mounted underneath the fuel tank, boasting 74 hp with a peak force at 6,400 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.

　　Suspension-wise, the bike packed a 45 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and twin side-mounted preload-adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.

　　The braking power was achieved by a pair of 320 mm discs mounted on the front wheel coupled to four-piston calipers and a 282 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
