I think the Breva 1100/1200 is going to ride in to history as one of the best...

I agree about late model Tontis.  Really good, solid bikes.  To me their only real short coming is the agricultural shifting of the trans, but you learn to get used to it.

We loved ours..  Sold at around 53,000 miles.  We "blackened" the plasti-chrome thingies and powder coated the footpeg brackets.   GIVI fairing out front.

Just sold a set of those they are the stock Aprilla/Breva 1100 bags. The Hepco Becker bags are better.

Those are the stock bags

not that watertight (esp if you stuff them full)

hard to pack due to irregular shape and side opening. Had to always take them off the bike to load them, then heft and re-fit while fully loaded.

you can't open/close without the key, which is annoying, they are either locked or they flop open

I didn't like them at all, sold the bags and hangers and fitted H&B ammo cans on mine

The PO of my bike loved them tho and told me he never once removed them, so YMMV

Agreed. My Sport shifts like a dream. Very precise, short throws. Almost as precise as the AMC gearbox on my Norton Commando which sets the standard for gearboxes for me.

I have Norge bags on my Sport. Work very well but are pricey.
