Moto Guzzi question

Hi Folks,

First off, did anybody else attend the BMW RA rally in Birmingham
last weekend? It was a real hoot.

Secondly, I am looking at a Moto Guzzi Breva, a 750cc V-twin, shaft
driven machine that's almost short enough for my squatty legs. Anybody
else ever ridden one? I understand that MPH Cycles in Houston is the
place to go for MGs in Tejas......carry on

 

I was just at European Cycle Sports in Plano this afternoon. They had a
brand-new Breva sitting right out front. Sharp looking bike! Didn't ride
it though.http://www.europeancyclesports.com/main.htm

MPH in houston on the west side
Mike Hazen carries Goose and works on old BMWs

British USA / Gulf Coast BMW also is Goose dealer in S. Houston near
hobby airport

both great shops. Brit USA does excellent service & restoration for old
Triumph Norton BSA etc too place feels like a bike shop, it's got soul.

won't go wrong with either one.

'73 R75/5 Toaster (not for sale)
'99 R1100RT (in use)
'00 FLHRCI (sold!)
Iron Butt Assoc, WATR 3X, EIEIO, AEIOU etc blah blah

 

Haven't ridden one, but someone on another list I'm on has and this is what
she had to say:
"Bravo!!!! whew whata sweet sweeeet motorcycle. Am wanting one so much, with
the color matched hard bags. Love the type of power that engine
makes,although I can tell my Magna has more brute power. Was kinda one
footing it (I'm 5'2" with 27 or so inseam), but easily. By the end of the
demo, I was real comfortable with this bike. Best bike I've ever ridden.

Only thing that bugs me a bit, and it bugs me in principle only, is the lack
of a monoshock. But the dual shocks it does have work very well...for casual
hot rodding anyway..I'm sure for track purposes it wouldn't live up."
