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. N O T L O S T I N T H E C R O W D 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.
