Built around Moto Guzzi's touring motorcycle platform, the 2004 Moto Guzzi Breva V 1100 utilizes a 1064 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 82.9 HP (60.5 kW) at 7,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 86.5 Nm (63.8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 77.9 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,800 rpm), 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 V 1100 measures 233 kg (514 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.81 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 24-liter (6.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
