Anyone got either of these. Yes, I know they are totally different bikes, but so what.

I'm thinking of the 750, not the 1100.

It's cheaper.

If not the Breva, what about the Transalp 650?

(edit/was thinking of a different bike!) The motoguzzi, the V11 is a bike i'd really like myself.. they handle brilliantly, shaft drive and , but generally not up to modern standards of relyability or oil tightness Shocked (well they are italian Razz )

As for the transalp, very good bike, not going to set you pants on fire excitement wise (unless you are on the right roads) but it will get you from one place to another with no fuss, it will do anyhting you throw at it... when it was relesed it was ridden arorund with the other bikes at the suzuka circut and kept up with no fuss, there was also a rally organised over some pretty harsh terrain arround thealps, again it coped.. not that thats what its designed for but give you an idea of what they can be used for... city roads they are ace, country lanes they are designed for.. everything else they do ... ok... (which is the only downpoint..)

Depending on how much money you have and what you plan to use it for then theres allot of other bikes out there you should look at...

The Guzzi looks very nice, and as for the transalp as zero said the transalps ok on some roads, better on others.

There will be something out there in your price range, just keep looking and depends what your using it for Thumbs Up
