Hi folks,
I am Vitek from Czechia. I consider myself a Breva fan. I've owned little one, and recently upgraded to Breva V11. Both black.
The Little One -- I had here almost 5 years, learnt a lot during the process. Both about the bike and myself. I did many changes on there, starting from solving the irritating "startus interruptus" problem through those improving the safety (louder horn) and comfort (progressive Hagon springs on the front, and Ikons on the back). Last, but not least, I gave her a pair of Mistral exhausts that sound superb!
I also had to tweak a lot of smaller or bigger issues (e.g., fixing the burnt connectors or changing the gasket from the crankcase or broken rod on the gear lever. I absolutely love the bike, but since I gradually needed more power, I decided to let her go. Although she has some small oil moisture around, it rides perfectly and the new owner haven't complained so far, and I hope it will give her a lot of joy.
The Big One -- 60k on the clock. It is a really wonderful bike. Still a lot to discover. I have already had to change the faulty oil sensor (having put the airbox out). I am already thinking about the future upgrades.

Hi,
Bart, from the Netherlands; 44 years old with two Guzzi's. A 1992 V65 that is awaiting restoration (abused naked bike) and a 1975 850 T3.
The T3 was my dad's since early nineties and is mine since 2010. I have brought it back to (almost) original and try to work on it every year, a bit at a time. Being an early T3 it has a few quirks (the location of the bobines for example). And being old it means there is always something to do. I fitted new cylinders and pistons, new brake discs, lighter clutch and newtronic ignition so far. Apart from numerous small cosmetics updates. In the long run I'd like to restore the removable sidecar that came with it.

Hey Bart, what sidecar I have the same setup on my Cal2. Police seat & carrier on back. SCF sidecar, like a Stieb 500

@steve: a super elastik I believe it's called. Czech Republic sidecar that often came with a CZ motorcycle. Connects with three hardpoints and a hub on the swingarm/rear damper

Never seen those in USA, we got Velorex on the MZ
