How about a Brevio?
« on: April 21, 2016, 05:07:06 PM »
Playing around with aluminum spoked wheels on my Breva. Still have a few issues to iron out. Speedo not working, I think the sensor distance is different.
May need to shim the rear caliper a little more.

  I like it. If Guzzi won't offer a baby Stelvio just make your own.  :thumb: Needs a mudflap on the front fender.  :boozing:

I always like the Breva 750, I thought it was a very well thought out bike.  However, it looks a couple degrees of magnitude better with the wire wheels, and knobby rubbers!  Well done, for a guy under six foot!

Very nice!
The little Breva is just gorgeous, it's still looking great with all that stuff on.

I think he's just getting started. Look at the alternator cover and the front of the sump. There's potential untidiness there.

When there's sleet/ice in an expanded metal "screen", I'll accept authenticity. Can one photoshop mud?

Has a really nice stance to it, looks like it's ready to crunch some serious miles. Should have been built that way. Fantastic !!
