Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer 2016

Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer 2016

The V9 Roamer (masculine, means wanderer, vagabond) has a legacy to take up in contrast to the V9 Bobber - it replaces the Moto Guzzi Nevada 750. This makes it clear that the Roamer should also work on longer distances. Accordingly, the seating position is cosy, the high handlebars, the pleasant knee angle and the comfortable saddle provide a distinctly feel-good atmosphere. Thanks to its low weight of only 200 kilos, the Roamer also has more agile handling than you would expect from a cruiser. However, the typical V2 engine with its 55 hp is more for cruising than for sport.

Comfortable chassis

comfortable seating position

stable brakes

nice look

the engine could be a little stronger

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2022

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2022

The small V-Strom 650 is not only visually close to the big V-Strom 1000 with its pronounced duckbill, stacked headlights and extensive instruments. The equipment does not correspond at all to what is understood by "cheap entry": traction control, lively Euro4 engine, harmonious handling and additional techno-gadgets such as Low RPM Assist or Suzuki Easy Start System. To the delight of the customers, the price is kept within reasonable limits.

Lively, economical engine

balanced handling

good wind protection

traction control and ABS as standard

looks in the style of its big sister

extensive instrumentation with gear indicator

12-volt socket in the cockpit area

good price.

Traction control in mode 2 very restrictive
