Pros and Cons in comparison
Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber 2017
The V9 Bobber is an absolutely authentic model - both as a Moto Guzzi and as a bobber. The typical longitudinally mounted V2 engine with its cylinders projecting upwards at an angle is proudly displayed and dominates the minimalist lines that should characterise a bobber. The small and wide front wheel is particularly successful, both visually and in tighter bends. With its 55 hp, the engine does not stand out too much from the V7 series, but thanks to the low weight of only 200 kilos, nothing stands in the way of a brisk ride. The seating position also corresponds to the bobber style - sporty and upright, you can enjoy the ride on the noble and therefore not so expensive machine.
Yamaha XV 950 R 2017
Visually, the Yamaha XV950R does everything right - it stands out from the wide variety of cruisers with its sporty touch. In riding, however, it does not stand out significantly from the competition. The XV950R also has the usual problem with low lean angle clearance, which is not helped by the firmer tuning of the chassis.
