Hi Paul, thank you for your kind comments! At 6′ with 33″ inseam, I find the California perfectly comfortable. The bike requires some long legs to use the kickstand and has a fairly tall seat height; however, the footboards are high, so your knees are bent in standard riding style and maybe for taller folks could get a little cramped on long hauls. I don’t think you’d have any problem, except for the windshield height. Rifle makes a taller windshield that some prefer over stock. Have you looked at a Moto Guzzi Stelvio? That one is quite tall with adventure style like BMW GS style.
John

Your knowledge and passion about your Moto Guzzi and your adventures on it are of great interest to me.
I currently ride a BMW F650 which I enjoy riding the back roads of Texas. However I want to get a California Vintage soon. I have a friend who has owned and riden a Guzzi plus you website and articles have fueled my desire for a Guzzi.
I only have one major concern and that is the low seat hieght. I am 6’4″ with a 34″ inseam. Are you aware of a taller seat option for California.
Thanks again for everything you do.
