Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring S.E. (2015 – 2016)

Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring S.E. (2015 - 2016)

The California Touring S.E. is the latest iteration of Moto Guzzi’s iconic touring motorcycle, boasting a new two-tone graphic that pays homage to its glorious ancestors. The bike’s sleek profile is dominated by the chromium-plated 46 mm front fork, a nod to the classic styling of the V7 and V850. The 1400 cc engine, with its round head design and powerful thermal units, is proudly displayed beneath the cleverly designed 21-litre metal fuel tank.

A range of thoughtful touches adds to the bike’s comfort and style, including a built-in passenger backrest and grab handle, and a set of highly polished silencers that end at the rear mudguard. The front view is equally impressive, with a complex surface headlight unit and a polyelliptical light featuring LED daylight running lights.

The California Touring S.E. is a tourer’s dream machine, offering unparalleled comfort and load capacity, thanks to its generous saddle and spacious design.
