The Moto Guzzi V9 is a cruiser motorcycle manufactured and marketed by Moto Guzzi. Introduced in 2016, it is available in two versions: Roamer and Bobber.[1]

Specifications

V9 Bobber

As with the other Moto Guzzis, the V9 has an engine is an air-cooled 90° longitudinal V-twin cylinder four-stroke, but in this case it is totally new[2] with a displacement of 853 cm³, with a power of 55 HP at 6250 rpm.[3] It features two valves per cylinder, controlled by a single central camshaft and operated via rocker arms. The intake valve is made of titanium, which allows for a sharper crankshaft profile due to its low weight. Fuel is fed via an electronic injection system and the air intake is controlled by an electronically actuated central throttle body (so-called "ride by wire"), allowing for different response settings. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive. At launch, the bike was homologated to Euro 4 standards.

The front suspension features a 40 mm telescopic fork with 130 mm travel, while at the rear it uses a single double shock absorber with swingarm.

Updates

In 2021, the V9 underwent an update, with the engine being adapted to the Euro 5 standard developing 65 HP, 10 HP more than before, delivered at 6800 rpm.[4][5]

The V9 Bobber Special Edition version was presented in 2022, with a special black and gray twin-tone color scheme and bar-end mirrors fixed to the ends of the handlebars.[6]
