Now dropping below the $2,000 threshold...

I’m sure I’m in the minority here but I prefer the styling of the Breva 750 to that of the v7 small block varieties.

To me, they're just completely different styles of bikes, so I can't say I'd prefer one to the other.

The V7 line, I'd compare to BMW R65s and Guzzi V50s and Honda CB1100s and other "standard" bikes.

The Breva would get compared to the more swoopy sport bikes.   I definitely have preferences among those!

I also prefer the V7 styling, but if I did not already own a V7 I think that I would be shopping for a Breva 750.
It's classic vs modern...and considering the design of some newer motorcycles, I'd have to call the Breva a "modern classic" or maybe a "contemporary classic".
Anyway, that's just my ramblings.

Put me in the minority, but I prefer the Breva style, didn't at first but it has grown on me since owning it.  The seat is all day comfortable for my bony butt and the inclusion of twin shocks and a round headlite is definitely "modern classic" style.

One and the same, Dusty.  It's a 2004 and the mileage was about 57K when I bought it.  That seems high compared to the ones that are listed with such low mileage, but I'm not concerned because I know how it was taken care of before I bought it.  There's plenty of them out there with much higher mileage with little problems.  I fail to understand how people can own a 15 to 20 year old Guzzi and not ride them hardly at all.

I gotta say, all the red Brevas I've seen don't do much for me, but that bike looks absolutely great!!!!

A few months back I bought a 2007 Nevada 750 that has only 4,200 miles on it. 

I guess it all depends on the owner's priorities and other obligations.  Or maybe because it was a Nevada, the first time they went to the local Moto Guzzi hangout and the Guzzitisti told them it was not cool, they might have been ashamed to ride it..... at least in broad daylight...

Interesting to see what a change of color can do for a bike's looks.

I think a Breva would look awesome in this color:

As do I. I did like the original V7 Cafe of the 2011ish timeframe. That made sense.

This is what $1750 will buy you in Colorado.  Couldn't be more pleased with it!

That's a beauty….. I'm lovin the color and pipes.

I love my little Breva, runs great, frugal with fuel, looks good, easy to throw a leg over. Only issue I need to solve is the distance between the footpegs and seat, too tight for my arthritic knees. Any seat guys out there?

lots of article out there on rebuilding seats.  I think the preferred foam is rebonded foam.  DIY and have fun doing it.

another method I have used to to get a second seat base.  mount the second seat base to your bike, add spacers, then mount the original seat base and seat to the spacers.  then head to an apolstery shop to hide the mess.

   Thanks SIR REAL ED, I've built a couple of seats for dirt bikes and ATV's but have few upholstery skills and my regular seat guy is booked up till August. I'll talk to my local buddy who's built one seat for me already. Any other suggestions?
