Overview[edit | edit source]
Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring S.E.
In addition to the Nero Ambassador and Bianco Eldorado versions, for 2015 the
California Touring is available in a new version called "S.E."
Characterised by a new two-tone graphic, this version, which has a built-in
passenger backrest and grab handle, emphasises the virtual continuity with its
ancestors through the reinterpretation of various style elements. The most
obvious of these are connected to the profile of the saddle, the chromium grab
handle and the side panels inspired by the T3 as well as a ratio between the
fuel tank and engine sizes which favours the latter, just like the style of the
glorious V7 and V850.
This impression is given especially by the ingenious fuel tank, made in
metal, with a 21 litre central body and two side covers where the Eagle logo is
proudly displayed, moulded on the powerful thermal units of the round headed
1400 cc engine.
This impression is further accentuated by the horizontal lines of the highly
polished silencers that end at the rear mudguard, moulded over the impressive
200 tire and equipped with a spectacular dual LED light cluster that also
includes the turn indicators. The front view is no less impressive, with a
complex surface headlight unit and a polyelliptical light with LED daylight
running light (DRL).
The particular polygon shape of the headlight dominates the luxurious front end,
enriched in classic California tradition by the windshield and supplementary
lights, painted to match the body, as well as the new front deflectors.
The lightweight alloy wheels are an original ribbed design like the headlight
frame, the supplementary lights, the handlebar and the valve covers.
The 46 mm front fork is another throwback to its glorious ancestors:
completely sealed by dominating "telescopes" which are now chromium plated.
Intended for those who devour kilometres, the California Touring S.E. is
unrivalled in terms of comfort and load capacity thanks to its generous saddle
and the spacious and elegant 35 litre side panniers, the cruise control feature
and the dampening action of the elastic kinematic engine mounting system. The
engine mounted is the sculpturesque 1380 cc big bore, the absolute top of its
class in terms of performance and consumption, equipped with Ride-by-wire
multimap electronic engine management.
This technology allows the rider to choose one of three engine management
maps: Turismo, Veloce and Pioggia.
The dynamic performance of the vehicle is also kept under control by its
traction control system (MGCT) which can be adjusted on three actuation levels
in order to increase active safety without impacting performance and riding
pleasure.
