Hello all!
This is my first time posting here, but not my first time looking. I recently sold my 2005 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe. It is a great bike, but I was ready for a change. "Different" bikes appeal to me and Moto Guzzi is unlike most other manufacturers.
The California 1400 Touring has held my interest since it was introduced about two years ago. I have done a demo ride on one and am impressed with the overall finish and smoothness of the engine. Now I am ready to get serious and look to buy one.
Before I do I am hoping that those of you who are now owners can help me with your opinion and overall satisfaction. I am interested, of course, on any problems that seem to arise. I also want to know what about this bike appeals to you.
How does the California 1400 do at its intended task.............Touring.
Have any of you done 500 - 1000 mile days on your California?
What do you think of the standard seat?
Have you been able to adjust the bike to fit YOU without buying a lot of stuff to make it fit?
How may miles do you have on your bike now?
Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to learn from your answers.
