The story of Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring 2013 taken in the may /june 2013 issue of Ultimate Motor Cycling magazine — available on newsstands and good bookstores everywhere
.The Official Picture of Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring 2013, Moto Guzzi brings it back with a vengeance with an all-new machine that boldly brings the historic form into the modern day. Moto Guzzi’s latest Quattrovalvole motor has huge 104mm pistons sliding
through the 81mm strokes left over from the 1100 engine. Moto Guzzi reworked the clutch and the Cardan joint to smooth things
out considerably. Gone is the traditional big V-twin transmission clunk;
replacing it is a smooth, positive engagement using the easily operated
heel/toe shifter. The 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring is not your bike. Given how unusual the previous California was, it is amazing how
conventional the California 1400 Touring is. Yet, with its longitudinal
V-twin and sporting performance, the new Guzzi has that touch of
individuality many of us crave in a motorcycle.
