2004 Moto Guzzi Breva V 750 IE review from United States of America
"The perfect commuter"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
When I first got the Breva, it had an idle problem. When I stopped at a light or stop sign, it would sometimes die. I took it in for the 600 mile service and the dealer found that a couple of hoses to the gas tank were not connected properly. The dealer fixed it and I have not had any other problems.
General comments?
The Breva is a very nice commuter bike. I just started riding it to work. My commute is around 45 minutes to an hour. About half of it is in stop and go traffic. I get around 50 miles to the gallon. It is easy to maneuver and comfortable.
I don't see too many Moto Guzzi bikes where I live. I have not seen any other Breva's. So the bike is very unique.
