Hate to re-muddy the waters, but I just came across this article on the Breva 1100: http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/moto-guzzi/2009-moto-guzzi-breva-v-1100-ar56353.html
Here's an excerpt, which you'll find is the third paragraph:
In 2007, the Italian builder got rid of that very precious sixth gear, a decision considered by many as being not so inspired. Only a year later, the gearbox again featured six speeds and the engine was retuned for 86 hp and 86.5 Nm, making the bike’s performance more predictable without sacrificing rider enjoyment.
That's the same incorrect article quoted earlier in this thread.
