The Moto Guzzi V9 is a cruiser motorcycle that masterfully blends timeless Italian design with contemporary engineering. Introduced in 2016, the V9 series offers two distinct variants: the V9 Roamer and the V9 Bobber, each catering to different rider preferences while maintaining the brand’s signature character.
Both models are powered by an 853cc air-cooled, 90-degree V-twin engine, delivering approximately 65 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 73 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. This engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and a shaft drive, ensuring smooth and reliable performance.
The V9 Roamer emphasizes a classic cruiser aesthetic, featuring a 19-inch front wheel and a comfortable riding position suitable for long-distance touring. In contrast, the V9 Bobber presents a more aggressive stance with a 16-inch front wheel, minimalist design elements, and a lower seat height, appealing to riders seeking a sportier look and feel.
