In 2009, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi Breva 1200 Sport 4V, a motorcycle in its second year of production that featured a new exhaust system and new graphics.

It was part of the Breva family comprised of several models with different engine displacements, including the Breva V750 ie (2003-2011), followed by the Breva V1100 in 2005, the Breva V750 Touring and Breva 850 in 2006, and the Breva V1200 in 2008.

In the visual department, the 2009 model was similar to the previous version, except for the new exhaust. It packed standard features, such as a large round headlight on the front integrated into a small cowl, three-spoke wheels, a two-up seat with passenger grab rails, and a wide handlebar.

The bike was manufactured around a tubular steel frame and equipped with a 45 mm inverted and adjustable telescopic fork with 120 mm travel handling the front and a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear with 140 mm wheel travel.

Braking-wise, the bike's 17-inch wheels were coupled to twin 320 mm brake discs and four-piston calipers on the front and a 282 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear.

The 2009 Moto Guzzi Breva 1200 Sport 4V had its heartbeat set by a 1,151cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine, boasting 90 hp with a peak force at 7,800 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.
