MOTO GUZZICalifornia EV 2004 - 2005

　　The First Moto Guzzi California motorcycle, released in 1971, was developed jointly with the Los Angeles Police Department Traffic Division to change their Moto Guzzi V7 fleet. The bike was fitted with numerous police-oriented features and used by other departments, such as the California Highway Patrol.

　　The Moto Guzzi California was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Moto Guzzi from 1971 to 2021. It had a standard riding position, floorboards, heel-and-toe shifter, and linked Brembo brakes (discontinued for the 1400 models).

　　In 2004, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi California EV, a cruiser motorcycle with the same package as the previous model, featuring the exact technical, visual, and performance specifications.

　　In the aesthetic department, the bike had standard features, such as a round headlight on the front, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger backrest, a two-into-two exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

　　It retained the same suspension system as the previous model, comprising a 45 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front with 130 mm of travel and side-mounted preload-adjustable shock on the rear with 89 mm of travel.

　　In the power department, the bike delivered 74 hp at 6,400 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm, coming from a 1,064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine mounted at its core.
