California Stone (2004 - ) review
A stylish Moto Guzzi in an understated way
Visordown
Pros
Laid back and easy-going, the Stone hearkens back to a bygone era in motorcycling.
Cons
Unadventurous design won't please all
A sort of a stripped down Cali, but still with that late MZ 'riding uphill' style fuel tank. Commendably cheap though.
