 I've been trying to tell ya it is a 2000 Jackal , they only built them in 2,000 and '01 . The right side brake is a dead giveaway .

 Dusty

It only has one clock and one front disk so it's not an EV

Looks like it will scrub up nice though.

Would Dusty put you crook?

You're missing two digits.  Should be 17 there.

ZGUKDBOYM151429

Z - Italy.
GU - Moto Guzzi.
KDBKD KD is the engine code for a 1100cc California engine.  This sequence was used on all the Californias of that time.
0 - the ninth digit is number, not a letter.  It's a mathematical check digit used to confirm the VIN.
Y is year model 2000.
M is for Mandello Del Lario.
151429 is the production sequence.

OK.  I updated my above post.

You have a 2000 model Guzzi California.  There is no way to determine more detail from the VIN.  You have to look at the bike.

Tube-type wheels, single disk brake with 40mm caliper mounting holes, speedo-only gauge, 2-piece seat, solid paint scheme all make it a Jackal.
