Taste Test: 2020 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber Sport

Moto Guzzi might be in a tough spot these days, especially with the growing competition from British & American fronts. The Bobber-style motorcycles are still on the niche market, but slowly growing incrementally. Mainly thanks to beard-wearing hipsters.

The Guzzi from Italy isn’t going to be left out on this craze as they introduce its newest variant, the V9 Bobber Sport.

Basically shares the same 850cc V-Twin engine from the impressive V85 TT adventure-touring bike, but differs on some internals and tune.

The Bobber Sport is a different take on its V9 line accompanying its much-established Roamer line! Adding to the spice on Guzzi’s mid-size line basically as a somewhat of a compact version of Guzzi’s much larger Audace.

With Triumph, Indian, and even Harley-Davidson joining the fray, will this Italian approach work?

Taste Test: 2020 Moto Guzzi V85TT Adventure

Destined to replace Guzzi’s only adventure-touring bike, the Stelvio 1200 NTX. The Italian cruiser brand downsizes and ventures into the very hot middle-weight adventure-touring class, hence the completely new V85 TT Series!

Smaller in every way compared to the Stelvio 1200, yet the V85 even more feature-packed compared to its predecessor! In this crowded segment, how will the V85 distinguish itself compare to the others in its class?

Will this Guzzi’s Italian charms find their way into my heart? Or it will remind me to have a pasta dish after the ride. Find out here!
