Hi guys and girls,
I'm new here and have a question about buying a breva.
I have about 15 years of riding behind me. My first 3 years where with a v50 nato in the Dutch army. I love the little bugger. She gave me a lot of fun and she treated me right. If she broke down (which she did a few times) I missed her. I rode a v50 nato for about 50000 after I sold my car and I rode motorcycles only for 4 years. I had 2 Honda's and 2 Ducati's.
I had a heavy crash on my fireblade and couldn't ride for a long time. Last year I bought a vfr (96) 2 start ride again for long runs (about 500km a day) but I don't like the feeling of riding a racer type. I hate the constant gear changes 2 keep the torque needed for the ride. I ride about 5000 to 7500 km a year in different type of riding. Mostly riding in a large group with harley's and other "cruisers". Is the breva a good reliable ride which can give me the feeling of riding "hard" without riding hard? Is it good as a mile muncher with the reliability of that Japanese monster I own now??
I would like 2 relive my love of the v50 nato without all the issues, because now it's my bank account. I never got the feeling I had of my v50 but I know that if I had her In a real world scenario she would cost me a lot of money. Is the breva a substitute for a v50 and the "fun". I ride a bmw r60 from 1975 sometimes which is my dad's bike. So I'm used 2 the quirks of 2 cylinders going side ways.
Thanks for reading thru this long story and react 2 it.
My biking greetings
Pascal
