The 2005 Moto Guzzi Breva V 1100 is a completely redesigned
90º V-Twin with a new, larger alternator positioned between
the cylinder heads, new oil sump design, and lighter pistons
to reduce crankcase inertia and reduce vibration.
The most significant technological innovation is Moto Guzzi's
patented "cardano reattivo" or "CA.R.C."
(compact reactive shaft drive). The shaft drive is incorporated
into the aluminum swingarm. The pinion and drive shaft oscillate
inside the swingarm and the drive shaft has a double universal
joint with built in torsional dampers to optimize the responsiveness
of the transmission. This new compact system eliminates the
shaft drive effect normally caused by shaft drives while enabling
the use of a single sided swingarm with a non-load-bearing reaction
arm. For the rider this adds up to a clean, quiet, maintenance
free system that delivers a consistently smooth ride through
gear changes, acceleration and throttle release.
The keyword used to describe the design of the Breva V 1100
is ridability. The bike had to be quick off the start, responsive
in city traffic, maneuverable through the curves and steady
as a rock on the straight a ways. Moto Guzzi's meticulous mechanical
design of the frame geometry and suspension modification and
the positioning of the engine for perfect weight distribution
have achieved their goal. The result is an ergonomic natural
riding position that puts even the tallest rider of the Breva
V 1100 immediately in complete harmony with the bike with riding
characteristics that are always predictable and precise in all
conditions.
