Why would you want to own two Brevas?  Headscratch




The small block Breva 750, which I believe the OP has now, is a nice little bike but the big block Breva 1100 is a totally different machine.  Balance, power, and ride are totally different.  The big Breva is much better at eating highway miles at elevated speeds where the little Breva is a blast at lower speed two lane twisty roads and around town.  All IMHO of course!

OIC. I thought she was talking about two 750 Brevas.

I've been on a 750 Breva, several years ago. I thought it was pleasant.

So, are you considering another Breva 750, or a big Breva with cases?  When the talk went to ABS, cases, and then the Norge, I just though you were talking the 1100 with bags for touring.  Did the US get Breva 750s with ABS and is it even available on the V7?  I didn't see it in the spec section of the US Moto Guzzi site, so assuming ABS is not available on the small blocks.   Headscratch

Grant's is fun, and he doesn't like the BMW so trading for a ride isn't an option.  Dave at Moto International actually warned us this might happen if I rode it too much.  Lol

ABS is an asset around here as I am a 12-months-a-year commuter.   Headscratch

Again, OIC. Two Brevas for two people makes more sense than two Brevas for one person.

Also, if it lets you ride more and makes your back happier, kudos.

I, too, am a big fan of ABS. Maybe a letter to Moto Guzzi is in order?
