Moto Guzzi Breva V 750 IE reviews

First of all my 2023 Moto Morini Seiemmizzo SCR is my first motorcycle and I LOVE IT! After 6 months and 2800 miles on the clock my Moto Morini runs great even after two low speed crashes. Nothing too serious. Broken brake leveler and bent gear shifter. Both of which were repaired. I did remove about 10 pounds of plastic parts to really make my bike fly. In truth the Moto Morini bikes are designed and tested in Italy but built in China. Parts are cheap and the engine on my model is a Kawasaki clone so it’s solid. I have ridden on the street and off road without issue. So much fun y’all! If your looking for a new bike under $10k I highly recommend you check the Moto Morini line up. Show less

The V7 line is such an easy motorcycle to ride comfortably until you arrive at the 70mph mark, then it's too light and without the power and/or braking needed to ride safely at that speed. I have the rare Stornello scambler trim (not the Special) with a facotry two-up Pipe and it gets consistent compliments. The engine/transmission/shaft drive are wonderful and the bike starts every time! It sips gas unless you are really cracking the throttle wide open. The bike is fairly simple making it easy to work on, and/or easy to find a mechanic who is willing to work on the bike for you. The frame rake/travel and the rim selections 17/18 make this a good all around ride. I replaced the stock tires with Bridgestone Battleax AX41S tires and that improved the ride significantly. The V7 has undergone performance improvements since 2016, with the most notable occurring in 2020 when the 750 engine was replaced by an 850 engine with more HP and Torque! Sadly Guzzi has not built the V7 in the Stornello trim since 2016. That said, they always have a nice trim selection and this year they have a Corsa trim that is just beautiful! You really can't go wrong with the V7 if you want a nice all around bike that is reliable and fun to ride. Show less

This is by far the nicest bike that I have ever owned, it’s capabilities far exceed my own….it is light and nimble but still sticks to the road very well in the gusty high wind…This bike is very easy to ride and you will find this an ideal bike for a beginner, newly licensed rider to gain experience…. That can grow with you as you gain experience and confidence,,, With it’s six speed transmission and power band it easily cruises at any speed, from urban city street speeds to open highway...it is perfect for touring with it’s powerful 853 CC V Twin Engine and long range fuel capacity, giving it a range of almost 200 miles between fuel stops ...That coupled with the comfortable Italian Leather Seat… And the maintenance requirements are so easy if you are inclined to do your own work, or even if you do hire a shop or mechanic...first of all...Shaft Drive so No Chain to have to deal with…. With the bike on the center stand …. You can easily remove both tires…And that is wonderful if you ever have a tire problem on the road... And for the rest of the routine service, you can easily change all of the fluids with your bike on the center stand, Engine Oil and Filter…. Transmission and Final Drive, are all easily accessible with the bike on the center stand and there is also room for the drain pan too….There is no coolant to worry about, and checking and setting the valves couldn't be easier.. Nothing to pull, like the gas tank to gain access, because the cylinder heads are right out in the open and you check and set them the old way no shims or disassembly of the valves or head with the lock nut adjustment… I have enjoyed riding this through the mountains and canyons and across the open range through the occasional herd of cattle and surprising deer or antelope, but even the trip to check the mail, or to the store always brings a smile to my face...

The Breva 750 is my 3rd Moto Guzzi and about my 30th bike. I bought it after moving home to Australia from Asia (i don't really live in California. This webpage doesn't list other countries...) I had to leave my other two Guzzis behind in Asia when I went home, a 2001 California Jackal 1100 and a 2009 Bellagio 940. Both had a very respectable 75 horsepower. When I got home, finances dictated that I could only afford a cheap bike, but it HAD TO BE A GUZZI. Once you've owned a Guzzi, no other brand will do.... I found a nice 2005 Breva which has only 40 something horsepower. I wasn't expecting much after getting off two 75 horsepower bikes, but five minutes into the test ride I was sold. It ain't no rocket, but the 40 something horses are all pulling hard. The torque is great, the handling is very civilised and the acceleration and Brembo brakes are more than adequate. With 100,000 kilometers on the clock, it is only just broken in and the engine starts, idles, revs and runs beautifully. I don't expect it to get tired for at least another 100 or 200,000 kms. Guzzis are known to have done half a million miles without a rebuild when maintained right. The engine design is virtually the same as the first Guzzi V twin built in the 1960s, with reliability and fuel consumption improvements being the only real changes since then. The Breva has fuel injection and electronic ignition for great solid performance, though it won't blow anyone off the road, it will go all day at a respectable speed. I bought mine and rode it home, 6 hours on the highway and it never missed a beat then and hasn't since. Maintenance is easy. A valve clearance adjustment, oil, gear oil and shaft oil changes can be done in about an hour. Easy as! I love this bike.it was never meant to be a forever bike for me, just one to get me back on two wheels until I could afford a "real bike" and has since been joined in the garage by a 1200cc Moto Guzzi Griso, which will be joined by a 1400cc Guzzi California when I have the funds, but I can't see myself parting with the Breva. It is such a fun, light,zippy little machine that has grown on me, as all Guzzis tend to do. I'm keeping it, though I am giving it a cafe racer makeover, so it will look a bit more like the current model V7 range. Though costing significantly less than a V7. WARNING ! Moto Guzzis are addictive. Buy one and you will probably buy a few more to keep it company, as long as you have the cash and an understanding partner. Show less

I like the bike fine. However, it has shut off on me twice from the fuel line disconnecting from the fuel pump inside the tank. It gives no warning. The dealer repaired and it came off 150 miles later. I was told the fuel line from Italy was not alcohol proof and basically I would just have to live with that. So I decided to do my own research and fix it myself. I found that Gates Rubber makes what is called a submersible fuel line. It's alcohol resistant inside and outside. They make a 5/16" line that works perfect on my 2008 Nevada. It is chemically designed to withstand being submerged in alcohol contain fuels. I ordered it through O'Riley Auto Parts - its warehouse stocks it - $27.00 per foot. The good news is you only need one piece; it comes in one foot pieces. So far so good - I put another 600 miles on it with no issues. I also replaced the half plastic fuel filter inside the tank with an all-metal one. The plastic one was getting soft and ready to break, also. I hope this helps someone. It is a great bike now. Show less

Overall, great bike. Carves up sharp curves like knife through butter. Instrumentation great. Great muffler sound to my ear. Shaft drive great idea. Had some problems with the fuel pump in the beginning but it is fixed now. Performance is good to 60, slows off a bit after that, relatively easy to keep clean, would prefer a bit of a softer seat, great sitting position, forces one to sit in good posture. Runs a tad bit rough on very cold mornings (55 and below farenheit). Spokes are not prone to corrosion like most if not all Japanese bikes. Uniqueness never fails to draw attention. good fuel economy for a 750, about 55 suburban, 50 highway. Overall, would recommend so far. Would like to see a fuel gauge and a 140 sized back tire but these are minor requests. Show less

I took delivery in Kansas and rode it 400 miles to Texas. The wind was very strong the entire trip. I rode at the break-in speed of 60 to 70 mph. The bike did very well in handling in spite of the very strong wind. It did get just 44 mpg, but believe this was low because of head wind. The comfort of the seat was great the entire 400 mile ride. The power was just fine. I noticed no vibration problem at all - you can feel the pulse of the engine, but it is a nice feel, not a problem. Idiot lights are a bit hard to read in daylight, but you remember them easily. Instruments light in red and are easy to read -day or night. Redline on tach cannot be seen at night, but anyone can remember what it is - so not a problem. Center located foot controls are great; you can stand up anytime you feel like it. I am 63 years old and have had a lot of motorcycles - this one is perfect. Show less

Quality and performance are top of the mark. I love riding this bike in town. I've owned Aprilias and Triumphs, but this bike is much more stylish and simply feels much more quick and agile. I am loving it so far. Show less

Having sold my Ducati Monster 8 years ago I just picked up the Breva 1100. This is a great bike with just the right amount of personality. The bike handles well, is very comfortable, has good performance (just under the Duc), sounds good with the stock pipe and gets attention everwhere I've parked it. A key upgrade will be adding the Mistral pipe to give it a bit more attitude. With the large gas tank, you can easily hit 200 miles with the 40 mpg I'm getting now. Show less

We've had the Breva for just over a year now. (We also have a 2005 Nevada and a 2004 Cali EV) The bike is fun to ride, smooth acceleration and shifting, only a bit of lurching/hestiation when cruising through small towns at 15 mph (too fast for 1st gear, too slow for 2nd). Handled Angeles Crest Highway in Los Angeles like a dream, it loves the twisties. Seat is comfy, even on a 3000 mile ride. My only beef is with the 'touring screen' for the bike. The airflow comes over the top of the screen and slams me in the top of the helmet. The buffeting is annoying after a while. And the screen isn't adjustable. Other than that, I really enjoy riding the bike. Show less
