Extended Test - Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber Sport // How athletic is the Guzzi athlete?

26.05.2022 /

I heard about the new test Guzzi that the V9 is a Bobber Sport model, but thinking V9 didn't mean a nine-cylinder V-twin design, but a V-twin design with just under 900 cubic meters, I only remembered "sport." '.

So I put on a leather jumpsuit, racing boots, serious gloves, a one-piece helmet and switched my brain to adrenaline fashion. But there was a retro classic in front of me 'float'... An engine designed to truly enjoy a jerk-free ride, without the fear of the overpower that many modern sports bikes have, without the discomfort inherent in the high seat of modern touring enduros.

This Moto Guzzi is a fun cruiser that is a great thrill both while riding and enjoying the trails around the corners., as well as when parked standing up and just admiring its lines. And behind them or through them, the sports side also comes to the fore. The motorcycle is perceived from afar as a "bad boy", it is made in the spirit of a racing car more than half a century ago - but in an updated form - with Ohlins adjustable suspension. It has a single seat, a torque-controlled twin-cylinder engine and a low center of gravity for easy cornering.

Excessive turns will sparkle behind us and we will not slide on the ground with our knees., but who said that exciting sports winding is only possible "hard". Confident testosterone sensations, such as those produced by real sport bikes during sharp accelerations and leans, can be experienced in other ways - with a ride "alone" into the sunset. But perhaps with a little less leather than I chose myself.
