Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber 2018

Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber 2018

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.

The Fat Boy can rightly be called an icon and original. When you sit in the saddle, the V2 immediately enchants and inspires you. The sound and the vibrations give rise to powerful feelings. The glittering metal delights the heart of lovers and fans of the brand. The machine has a massive, powerful and magnificent appearance. The fat slippers look menacing, but ride better than expected.

charismatic and fascinating V2 engine

very strong and emotional engine start

super relaxed seating position

high-quality overall appearance

high-quality and loving details

many options for customisation

No traction control available - in combination with the fierce acceleration of the engine with little grip quite demanding
