Built around Moto Guzzi's naked motorcycle platform, the 2009 Moto Guzzi Breva 750 relies on a 744 cc (45.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 47.6 HP (34.7 kW) while maximum torque reaches 54.7 Nm (40.3 lb-ft) at 3,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 64 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Breva 750 measures 182 kg (401 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.82 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,449 mm (57 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
