Welcome, Wil!
At that mileage the bike can be considered "new old stock". The spoke wheels are the only thing I would love to have on my 1100, but they sell for ridiculous prices if you can get them at all. Keep the rubber side down and have lots of fun with your new baby.

Is it a roller motor?

Yes, I checked the engine numbers before I bought it.

Have you actually had a look? It's worth doing. The numbers the factory gave are not accurate.

I took a picture and it looks to me it is a roller engine. Compared it to the pictures on Guzxitech forum. I added the picture.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yup, you're good.
The thing is both I and others have seen several, (not a huge number but enough.) bikes with engine numbers that post-dated the change in 2012 bikes that still had flatties.
Now you can move on to swingarm bearings and shock linkage.

Hey Wil,
Do you know of a parts depot & bike shop called OEM over there in NL? They have some parts reasonable, like a Cali clutch assy for $716. That's 300 less than here.

Hi Steve, I could not find OEM online here. This shop is probably best for parts: TLM Nijmegen Its one of the well known Guzzi dealer for 40 years. They ship world wide. Otherwise maybe Stein Dinse in Germany.

I buy most of my stock from TLM.
Clutch kit is €954 retail. I've just bought one to stick on the shelf.
