Thanks to Charlie Taliaferro for providing this information on the old Yahoo! Guzzi_Quota news group. In Charlie's own words:

The ignition coils are Magneti Marelli BAE 850 AK, and measure 0.7 - 0.8 ohm on primary winding resistance, and 3260 - 3280 ohm on secondary winding resistance. I don't know why the secondary is so much lower than every other coil for which I can find reference, but it is.... It is common on all newer Guzzis, as far as I can tell, and on many Ducatis of the last 10-20 years.
