Almost all modern Guzzi have had cush drives and such for longevity of the drive system. The CARC bikes use some type of system on most, but a buddy who has a Stelvio said that his bike had no such drive cushion, and he was a little worried about the effect on his clutch over time?
I'm thinking long term, but my next Guzzi is likely to be a Stelvio, and am wondering.
