California Stone
Spartan and essential, the California Stone reflects an earlier generation
of motorcycle design, when riders stripped everything they felt to be superfluous
from a standard bike. The result was super-fast "bobbers", the ancestors
of all of todayís cruisers. The California Stone is directly inspired
by these bobbers ñ young, free and unconventional. It has a simple
and essential back-to-basics character, rough, solid and strong --a temperament
emphasized by the new model name, "Stone."
Excelling as both a "naked" motorcycle and a "build it yourself"
touring machine, the California Stone takes the California series into
a wider range of popularity. The California Stone captures an essential
part of the entire market with its charm and flexibility. Its relatively
low price makes it an entry point for many new younger motorcyclists as
well as providing a highly versatile base model for those seeking a custom
bike or city commuter.
The Stone features a number of innovations that are new to the
Guzzi California model line. The handlebars are now 30 mm in diameter with
new handgrips and electric controls to improve riding comfort. The
gearbox has also been revised, with a reduction in shift throw and effort.
Neutral is easier to locate and the lever rubbers are new and more efficient.
Traveling is more comfortable, with modified calibration of the rear shock
absorber (also equipped with new springs) and a new, more comfortable saddle.
The frame and rear swingarm have been modified to allow a wider cross-section
tire to be fitted. The side stand has been redesigned to make it more ergonomic
and easier to position, with a new elegant cover. A new molding around
the rear shock adds to its appearance.
Make no mistake: the Stone is a California in every way
ñ reduced to the essential, but without losing even a hint of its
charisma. The engine is still the legendary 90_ V twin, in its most recent
incarnation. It is an engine with amazing torque ó70 ft/lbs
at 5,000 rpm, setting the record for its class. The frame is the classic
detachable tubular steel duplex cradle, for a rock-solid grip on the road.
Two disk brakes, 320 mm at the front, 282 mm at the rear, provide
superior stopping power.
Available Colors
Reflecting its name, the Stone is available in four color variations: Slate Black, Porphyry Grey, Flint Orange and Limestone White.
