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.

Indian Scout Bobber 1131 2018

Indian Scout Bobber 1131 2018

The Indian Scout Bobber is a motorbike that impresses with its powerful appearance and modern virtues. While the looks divide opinions, the Indian seduces the entire test crew of the 2018 bobber comparison with its powerful V2 power unit. Thanks to its low seat height and good-natured handling, it can be described as beginner-friendly, even though it weighs 255 kilograms fully tanked. Only the limited lean angle clearance puts the brakes on riding pleasure, but even dragging footpegs can provide intense moments of happiness.
