Parts are readily available and stocked in the US lol. And it's a carbed bike, literally the easiest thing to maintain/work on.
Ah ok. Well if you can get parts and have the skills to work on it then why the hell not. Go for it!

I'm just butt butt because my local moto guzzi dealer closed shop so now every Fing part I need takes 2 to 3 weeks to order from Italy and I'm stuck trying to diagnose a problem with no access to the the dealership scan tool to read codes. Has me cursing the decision not to buy a cheap Japanese bike that I can ride with virtually zero problems.
