Possibly, but I knew right away it was going to be one of those
experiences...
The registration on the Quota went without a hitch. But, the Ambassador
(different clerk, different day), upon my explaining the situation,
immediately threw her hands in the air and left her workstation. 30
minutes later she returns (after speaking with half a dozen people) to
explain how messed up this situation is. They will not transfer title
with the year difference. They gave me a 30 day Florida tag to resolve
the problem - so I'm in the Florida system temporarally. To top it all
off, there is a boat in Florida that has precisely the same 5 digit VIN
as my Ambassador :>
I'll try to resolve the situation through Minnesota. But, if that
doesn't work, I may try another DMV station.

I understand but all the history on that bike is going to reflect it
being a
72....maybe one of the Guzzi books has something that you could show the
clerk...?

Greg, the date on the VIN plate is the build date, not the title date

Funny you should mention this...
I went down to the Florida DMV on Monday to get my title and
registration switched from Minnesota to Florida. Come to find out, the
Minnesota title lists the bike as a 1972 whereas the VIN clearly
indicates it is a 1971. In short, the Florida DMV will not transfer
title (or register it) with that mistake. So, I'm now dealing with the
Minnesota DMV to try and get this situation corrected.
In the meantime, I just renewed the registration on the Minnesota tag
for another year...so I can procrastinate a little longer :>
