I'm looking at picking up this '04 Breva 750. Sits at 6300 miles, priced at $3800. It's hard to find out if this price is good because the bike is rare enough that I can't seem to find any comparisons. So I'm hoping you guys can help clear up what I've been reading online about these bikes.

FYI, I currently ride a 1100cc, 121 horsepower, Honda Sabre. Same 90* V-twin, shaft-driven, disc brakes, upright sitting position, Sport-Touring bike.

I want the Breva to be more of a sport bike. I'm concerned it doesn't have enough power for daily driving, and that it will be at redline at 70-80mph highway. The rear drum brake is old technology, also. Can anybody tell me how bright the headlight and taillights are? The bike weighs in at around 440lbs wet, which is a bit fat, but if the center of gravity is low it may not feel that way. I'm only 130lb and 6ft so I really want to stay on the lean side of 450.

I've read that the ride is comfortable, but I want to know what you guys think about how well it takes the twisties. Appreciate your feedback guys.

And there's no denying, the bike is simply stunning to look at.

Take another look at the bike, the rear brake is not a drum, but is a disk. They are great in the twisties, the limiting factor is cornering clearance. Don't worry about top end, I blew past a friend on his K12 doing 105mph (on the track of course :evil: ) Handling is great and the low CG makes it a pleasure to ride. What makes the bike so much fun is it delivers just about as much torque as horse power (42 lb-ft torque, 48 Hp). The torque from the engine is amazing for its size. NADA puts a bare 750 Breva at about $3470 average retail. Since the bike has only 6,300 miles, I wouldn't consider $3800 to be out of line price wise.

Well, compared to your VF1100S, the Breva 750 is going to feel anemic when accelerating to highway speeds.
But don't let that put you off. The bike is very pleasant and fun to ride.
If you want the Breva to be a sport bike, don't concern yourself with highway usage.
It'll do 70-80 mph all day, but the main thing is the twisties.
It'll do those all day too, and do them well.
But really you should just test the bike you're thinking of buying. That should tell you if it's what you want.

Have a 2004 with 36000 miles used as a daily driver in San Francisco bay area. I take it everwhere freeway does great easy light bike to ride around town. Price sounds fair rear brake is disk but not really used much. Really easy to maintain I'd take it over a big block anytime but I'm only 5' 5" so it sits me ok.
