In 2006, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer introduced the Moto Guzzi Breva 1100, a motorcycle based on the smaller 750 model, taking the proven performance to the next level with more power and torque but retaining the character of Mandello bikes.
The bike debuted in 2005 as a redesigned large series machine that shared only the name with the smaller series. It packed the same engine type as the small series but with an increased displacement.
Similar to the previous model, the 2006 Breva 1100 model packed standard features, such as three-spoke aluminum wheels, a two-into-one exhaust system with a silencer on the left side, and a two-up seat. It also had optional touring accessories like a large windscreen and side-mounted panniers.
Suspension-wise, the bike featured a 43 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a single-sided swingarm coupled to an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.
The bike rolled on 17-inch wheels fitted with two 320 mm stainless steel floating discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 282 mm stainless steel disc on the rear tied to a dual-piston caliper.
For power, the 2006 Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 had installed a 1.064cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering 86 hp at 7,800 rpm and 87 Nm (64 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
