V9 Bobber Sport
« on: May 23, 2019, 02:21:53 PM »
This has been rather overshadowed by the V85 and thus not really discussed or reviewed. I think it's a big improvement and a very interesting addition to the Guzzi range. It seems to lack passenger pegs and it's unclear whether these could be an option. Likewise the passenger add-on seat they offer on the normal Bobber. The headlamp is lower and the bars flatter and the seat lower - maybe not good for long runs. But a nice looking iteration of a much-maligned bike. They don't yet seem available in the UK - but the price seems the same as the regular Bobber, which suggests a rather good deal bearing in mind the Ohlins on the rear. Anyone get to test ride one yet?

My local dealer has had one for several months, with no sale. $10,700 MSRP.
The Sport is likely a better bike than the Bobber, but I doubt it will be much of a sales success. The original Bobber has not sold well in the US.

Ah, at least you get the chance to see them in person. My dealer told me this morning that there's been no word of their appearing in the Uk.

What's there to talk about? The only technical improvements are the Ohlins shock absorbers, the rest are optical retouching, which was possible before with official and non-official accessories.

Best wishes
