• 2005 Moto Guzzi California Stone Touring

California Stone Touring -- Trim clean lines, classic minimalist design, the temperament of a genuine Moto Guzzi. An updated version of the unmistakable 90º V-Twin with hydraulic self-adjusting valves. Meet the most comfortable long-distance horse in the Stone stable, complete with windscreen and color-matched hard saddlebags. Available in Black or Silver.

Essential without exaggeration

Some bikes have natural personality. These are the bikes that seduce you just with their looks; bikes that start a trend, lead a fashion, and introduce a new way of being. The Stone is one of these bikes. It stands alone.

Though a member of the Touring family, the Stone is a ... Stone.

The Stone Touring is Guzzi’s entry level tourer. No frills but everything you need to tour comfortably two up. Essential but not Spartan. Relaxed yet agile.

An indestructible double cradle frame in high strength steel and the irreplaceable 90° V twin with hydraulic tappets and catalyzed exhaust form the basis of the bike. But the Stone also has an efficient suspension system based on a Marzocchi 45mm hydraulic telescopic front fork and double hydraulic shock absorbers with adjustable spring preload at the rear. So road-holding, stability on bends and superb passenger comfort are guaranteed. Safe braking is also always on tap from the 320mm Brembo Gold floating disk at the front and 282mm fixed disc at the rear.

The Stone has everything you need for trouble-free touring and plenty of equipment for longer journeys too; practical, capacious Hepco-Becker luggage, with inserts to match the tank, for example. A good coefficient of aerodynamic penetration is afforded by the compact Plexiglas windshield that keeps the rider free from buffeting without spoiling the bike’s clean lines.
