GG. The bike was 2006 or 7. I bought it in '06. I got this because of the rampant rear drive failures on bmw at the time. Turned out that Guzzi used the same bearings as BMW. My failures were both the oil seal leaking. Oil went onto the rear tire. I just didn't feel safe with that situation so traded the bike in at maybe 20k miles. It was a sweet running machine.
