Moto Guzzi Breva 1100/1200














The bunched and active Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 is a absolutely altered beastly to the Moto Guzzi California 1100EV or Moto Guzzi V11, which are that bit harder to ride. The Breva 1100 has a lighter clutch, niftier anatomy and smoother V-twin than Moto Guzzis of old. The Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 feels abundant shorter, accustomed its weight that bit lower somehow. The Breva 1100 makes a actual appropriate all rounder.

Engine

What Moto Guzzi has done with the Breva 1100 is fit lighter pistons and conrods, shifted the alternator and revised its shaft drive assembly to make the engine/gearbox on the Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 shorter. It's revvy by Moto Guzzi standards, but you get used to it and soon revel in the steady power delivery of the Breva 1100. A claimed 86bhp is just enough to have fun on any type of road. Uprated 1200cc version introduced in 2007.

Ride and Handling

For a roadster the Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 handles respectably, with well balanced suspension, so the rider can tour two-up, or commute on pot-holed streets, confidently. For a Moto Guzzi, the Breva 1100 handles miraculously, especially when you consider its 233kgs weight - the Breva 1100 feels much lighter and more agile than it ever should.
