Breva is the name of the warm southerly wind that heralds the arrival of fine weather over Lake Como. Two years after the presentation of the Breva V1100, that same name is heralding the successful return of Moto Guzzi to its past glory. Many new technical solutions have been developed as part of the consolidation of the Breva’s success. Now these advances have been introduced in the new Breva V1200 as part of the renewal of the Moto Guzzi range.
Powered by the Guzzi transverse V twin with the biggest displacement presently available, the Breva V1200 has a special vocation for touring and truly universal use. Agile and safe as always, comfortable and stable at speed, this naked machine amazes riders with the natural way in which it expresses a potential for performance that makes it versatile and suited to all sorts of use. The Breva V1200 is a brilliant blend of supersport and tourer, capable of satisfying the needs and preferences of all motorcyclists. And riders also benefit from the satisfaction of knowing that their motorcycle will always attract admiration wherever it goes. All this combines to make the Breva V1200 the purest and most direct embodiment of Moto Guzzi motorcycling pleasure.
