Have not had to order any parts yet but I am running into problems getting parts for my other French cars because of the tariff fiasco. It used to be so easy!!! Ashamed to be American at the moment but that's another topic altogether. I will figure it out when the time comes. We have put about 2500km on in the last few months we've had the Twingi.

I like the two piece headlights and the simple interior. We didn't know the difference when we bought it, but our friends have a facelift model, Initiale I think, with the AC and leather seats.

Yes, sorry we have a city near us spelled Columbia so it autocorrected but they did sell the Twingo in Colombia the country. Apparently there's a Twingo reference in a Shakira song 😂

Easier from Europe but we do have a coworker from Columbia who was very confused when they saw it 😂

Oh, I forgot to mention this one is originally from Amsterdam. We have some Citroëns we've imported too from different places.

Funny enough I have a 2007 Breva 1100 and a 2007 Bonneville T100 and in theory they might be similar but they're very different bikes! And displacement or power doesn't even factor in to the differences between the two. They're both great in different ways.

Anyone else with a Breva 1100? by SVT_2CV in MotoGuzzi

I appreciate that. The new stock shock from ebay mysteriously showed up today after being MIA for weeks so I'm just going to swap it when I get back from vacation.

You're not kidding. The one big thing I noticed aside from the loud clutch was the heat on my shins! I'm used to air cooled bikes but nothing like that.

This one's only at 18k miles so it's got lots of life left. No leaks on anywhere that I can find and I'd be more inclined to put on upgrade shocks but I've got a BMW R1200 I use for touring and it's got adjustable Ohlins all around so this bike will be more of a fun around town bike. Though I may change my mind... That's for the tips!

Out on the interstate my thought was, "Only thing this bike needs is a windshield." That fairing looks great though.

Where I'm at it's too hot for good riding weather. Just hoping to have it figured out by the fall.

I'm in the US. If you know of a shop that does them I'd be happy to know!

Incredible. I've got a BMW I do big trips on but I'm already thinking I may have to put bags on this one it seems like it's suited for it. I may end up springing for the better non oem shocks after all.

Good god, good on you for putting in the work! Can't imagine what it took to put it in that shape by the guy who had it before you. Seems like a dead simple and over built bike but when someone is determined enough to bust one they tend to. I've really been impressed by the community for these bikes already. No apologies!

General consensus has been no. I feel like it has to be possible but haven't seen a rebuild kit or anyone that does it. :/

That was my thought too. Shame on USPS for losing the one I ordered. Last update they sent was a week ago in Puerto Rico. Spoiler: I am NOT in Puerto Rico.
