Received email from Moto Guzzi mentioning a new V9 Bobber Sport to be unveiled during open house in September. Also received one teaser picture of it with Ohlins on the rear. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of it next month.
I'll bite. I loved my former Roamer. But is a new paint scheme and Ohlins shocks gonna get more people to buy one?
How can they call that "Sport" with that lump of a front tire still on it? Sounds like Harley marketing to me.
Guzzi needs to add better forks to all the small blocks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I never thought my two V7s nor my Roamer had "handling" issues. The bikes are what they are and wonderful as that. Go buy a superduke if ya want more. Butt if someone would have asked me how I thought handling could be improved I would have said start absolutely with the front forks.
"most" people don't want to pay the $$$$ premium for the top shelf suspension.The OEMs can keep the pricepoint low by installing bargain basement suspension.I, and other riders who RIDE, know the difference and are willing to pay the premium.Guzzi should offer a "sport" version of every bike which includes Ohlins on both ends..
It�s not to expensive to drop in the Matris kit and have compliant fully adjustable forks.
FWIW, I've never had to change any suspension on any motorcycle I've ever owned, except for replacing an air shock on a 1986 Kawasaki 454 LTD, and that was only because they were leaking. YMMV, but I've never felt the need and I ride in some pretty nasty conditions on a regular basis. I learned other tricks like oil viscosity in forks, etc to alleviate. Heck, I even live on a 3 mile long gravel road and still have never felt the need.
Is anyone else getting tired of satin/matt paint?
Is anyone else getting tired of satin/matt paint? That deep red would look so good with a gloss finish. I hope they dropped the checkerboard graphics, if so I'll give it a test ride.
