Guzzi are ceasing production of the Breva as sales in the US have fallen to near zero. In an effort to pick up US sales of Breva's they enlisted an American design house to make the Breva more appealing for the US market. Here is the final result....................................................................................

Just can't wait to 'borrow' hairee's bike for a few weeks so we can give it the US look.
I may need a bit of a hand, so anyone handy wth a hammer, just let Hairee know, actually even if your not handy with a hammer, even if you've never swung a hammer before. I may need the assistance of some one to do some panel work & welding, so if you have absolutely no experience with either of these come along, it's only going to be a Breva that we're working on & besides Hairee no body will ever notice how rough it is.

from a purely design and build side I can admire the work that went into it but as OZ said you wouldn't ride it in public

Only just catching up on a heap of posts I missed during my i'net "outage". You'd love one of those, wouldn't you Wal? A last Breva that is. Even if it did begin life as a Breva. As for the machine itself....I can't think of anything appropriate to say, and what did it begin life as? Looks like a TAFE project gone wrong. Footnote: I went for a ride with a bunch of bike-riding bus drivers yesterday.....nice bunch of people, but mostly yama-harley type riders. One of them described the Breva as "compact". No, we didn't stop at every bus stop, but I thought it was going to be a slow journey when we did did pick someone up at this one!!!
