An older V65 or V75 (wihout EFI) will be cheaper to buy and run, lighter and simpler to maintain. I owned a 1984 V65 wich was really nice. AFAIK, the Breva is prone to the same problems than the older ones (5th gear problem) and new with the EFI. I wouldn't. -- The Beast from The Vosges 1993 1000 Strada 1999 V11 Sport carb.

Keep the GS500 for your daily commute, far less likely to get nicked in London than the Breva. The Guzzi will be rather more fun at weekends so keep it the the garage during the week. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 68 Bantam D14/4 Sport (Classic) 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley)

Never rode a V75. Finding a good one will be hard these days. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
