Motorcycle Maniac: 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom
2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom: Make Way For The New King
The motorsports world has been
abuzz with news and rumors about the new
2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring and 2013 Moto Guzzi
California 1400 Custom, these machines are the hottest thing on the
market.
While it was only recently released to the public, I got a chance
to test ride the 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom - and it
definitely struck a chord. The motorcycle is a prime example of a
great cruising bike should be, and riders who are searching for
their next investment may want to take a serious look at the latest
debut from Moto Guzzi.
Engine and Chassis - Deceptive Power
At first glance, the machine may not look like one that gets up to
blistering speeds. Weighing in at nearly 700 pounds, the 2013 Moto
Guzzi California 1400 Custom is a large bike that has plenty of
space for riders to stay comfortable. Its traditional Italian style
makes the machine feel sleek and stylish, and almost every
motorcycle enthusiast will appreciate the classic design and
excellent craftsmanship that make the bike great.
The chassis houses the largest engine Moto Guzzi has yet to build.
Its V-Twin, four-stroke, double ignition motor is both air- and
liquid-cooled and is among the most powerful on the market today.
With a displacement of 1,400cc's, the engine provides a lot of
power and is more than capable of handling high speeds or heavy
traffic.
Other Top Features
A superior cruise control system and ride-by-wire technology help
motorists make the most of their time on the road. The custom is a
bit better than its Touring counterpart in this regard, as it does
have slightly tighter handling. The 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400
Custom's fuel tank holds just under 5.5 gallons, so riders will be
able to spend hours on the roads enjoying the machine. Large
footboards are present on both the Touring and Custom, enabling
riders and their passengers to stay comfortable - and on the bike -
for a long time.
Final Thoughts - A New Leading Motorcycle
Almost every feature of the 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom
sets it apart from the pack. The cruising motorcycle has excellent
drag bar handlebars, a sport saddle and a front end that is
complete with a 46mm fork. You'll feel stable yet agile at the same
time - a rare feat for such a large bike. Between the special
features, handling and impressive exterior, riders will be jumping
to get this new bike.
