Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	Built for relaxed long-distance touring in comfort, with a torquey V-twin, shaft drive, and integrated luggage rather than outright speed or sportiness.
Rider Fit	The low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial wet weight demands decent upper-body strength for slow maneuvers and parking.
Character	A classic, characterful Italian cruiser that rewards a relaxed riding style with strong low-end torque, distinctive V-twin feel, and old-school shaft-drive charm.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or aggressive sport performance.

Your height

Inseam (optional)

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 SE, 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.
