Been doing some reading of late on the Breva 1100 and find that Guzzi
has moved the alternator off of the crankshaft and back up to where we
find it on our Loops! Is this Back to the Future or a Blast from the
Past? The Breva has anti-lock brakes (gee, don't we have them too?)
which probably necessitated a higher output and physically larger unit
than could fit in the "old" location. I like a lot of the tech the Breva
brings with it (dual plugs, floating rear drive) just not the package
it's wrapped in. Ugly headlight and Aprilia/BMW "styling" just doesn't
appeal to me. Here's a link to a story with a good engine pic:

Makes me want to go out and hug my Ambo! Cheers,
