Moto Guzzi Breva 750

The Moto Guzzi Breva 750 is a standard motorcycle built by Moto Guzzi at Mandello del Lario in Lombardy from 2002 to 2009. It was the first motorcycle that Moto Guzzi developed and sold after the company became a subsidiary of Aprilia, and it was introduced to the press at Intermot 2002 in Munich. The bike uses the small block 750 cc V-twin engine descended from the unit Carcano designed for Guzzi in the mid 1960s and Tonti later refined, rated at 48 bhp or 36 kW, and the list credits that engine with easy maintenance, durability and an even, flat torque curve. The first Breva 750 was handed to its owner on 7 April 2003 in a ceremony at the Mandello works, and the first hundred went to Italian dealers on 26 March 2003. It is named after the breeze called the Breva that blows across Lake Como, where the factory stands, and it shares its small block engine with the Nevada.
