I did this as well when I had my 1400 and also liked the results. At the time, the bike had under 5,000 miles. My 2016 had about 18,000 when I bought it and ran so well and still does at 30,000 miles that I did not think about that option this time around. Break in can really help.
Either way, such a fantastic bike, enjoy it as it is the end of an era for Guzzi with big block air cooled bikes.
