I purchased my Breva 750 as it was the first Guzzi released by APRILIA and I thought that at least it would have the backing of a company with a good reputation, The Old Moto Guzzi firm were and are still notorius for being unreliable, The bike looked good and sounded good and I liked the fact that it made a nice change to all the Japanese bikes that are around. I have to say that I have been disappointed from the beginning, within 3 months the gear shift broke, the a few weeks later the speedo broke then the motor cut out when decelerating then, recently the thing wouldnt start at all, I have written to both Guzzi and Aprilia nad still havent got a responce from them, poor bike - poor customer service... I for one will never by Italian again - viva the Japanese
