Rider Profile

Best For	This is a bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung machine at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
Purpose	Built for relaxed, long-distance highway cruising with a torquey shaft-driven V-twin rather than for outright speed or sporty cornering.
Rider Fit	The low seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders, but the substantial curb weight demands confidence and strength when pushing, parking, or handling it at a standstill.
Character	A classic, character-laden cruiser-tourer with distinctive V-twin throb, chrome styling, and unhurried, torque-driven power delivery.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for quick city commuting.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
