MOTO GUZZI V9 ROAMER & BOBBER
FIRST RIDE
P96
potential Guzzi V9 customers
can opt for the Roamer. This is
available in three different color
variants, all of them with a glossy
finish: Giallo Solare yellow with
an attractive black graphic on
the fenders and on the tank;
Bianco Classico white with an
elegant red graphic on the fend-
ers and on the tank, and Rosso
Rubino red with a pearl white
graphic on the tank and on the
fenders. The V9 Bobber how-
ever comes in just two colors,
both with a completely matte
finish—Nero Massiccio black with
a yellow checkered graphic on
the fenders and the fuel tank, or
Grigio Sport gunmetal grey with
a red checkered graphic on the
fenders and tank. Unlike with its
Ducati Scrambler rival, there's no
price supplement for any color.

The 800-900cc twin-cylinder
retro/lifestyle model sector is
getting pretty crowded these
days, with entries so far from
Triumph, Norton, Indian, Har-
ley, BMW, Yamaha and Ducati.
Thanks to the well-made and
thoroughly modern platform
provided by their new 853cc en-
gine, the Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer
and Bobber are certainly valid
contenders for the customer
dollar and, as always with any-
thing made in Mandello, offer
something completely distinctive
in the process—even more so in
the case of the Bobber! CN
The Moto Guzzi Roamer at home in Italy.
