1. 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom
Ultimate Motorcycling Editor Don Williams quickly sums up the 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom, our favorite cruiser of 2013 – “An impressively fast mid-size cruiser, with the handling and panache you expect from Italy.”
After a docile introduction to the bike back in April through local suburban streets, the California 1400 Custom felt good. The bike was responsive and the drag-style bars were a large departure from the Touring version of the bike. Without the windshield, we enjoyed the breeze, and the sporty saddle felt good.
We weren’t expecting any sort of blistering acceleration from the Moto Guzzi. The Touring version was peppy, but nothing that was going to seriously turn heads. However, with the bags and windshield removed, and the power mode switched into Veloce, we were about to get the friendliest rude introduction to the 1380cc motor’s power in the Custom trim.
We were perplexed at the traction control options on the Touring version. However, we can definitely see the advantage of traction control on the 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom. If we wanted to light up the tires, the 89 ft./lbs. of torque at 2750 rpm and 96 horses all the way up at 6500 rpm seem willing to oblige. So, while traction control is superfluous on the Touring, on the Custom it does show itself to be useful.
For 2013, Moto Guzzi has gotten the weirdness out of the California, while keeping its unique character – win/win. This bike is nothing short of a revelation. If you want to establish your credibility at the stop light, have something truly unique to profile with, and gather a crowd on bike night, the 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom is a bike that will accomplish your goals.
This is why we chose it as our 2013 Cruiser of the Year.
