Bring on the Bobber?

(1/9) > >>

vf84pc:
I was at Kissed in PA and they have V9 Bobber Sport with the Olins suspension. I threw a leg over it and was quite impressed I know the engine is slightly de-tuned compared to the V85 but no big g deal. What is everyone's thought? Is it worth sending the Stornello down the road and getting a Bobber?

Dirk_S:
I just came here to say I’m a fan of that dealer, assuming you meant Kissell Motorsports?

Best of the V9 line IMO. If I didn't already have a Griso to fill this style of riding I would have bought one in a second.

However, I think the Stornello is a better all-around / more flexible motor bike. I'd not trade, I'd add.

Here's my reasoning. If you have room for one you have room for two. And you only ride them one at a time so your costs for oil change intervals tires and other consumables like brakes etc will remain the same. The only real edition is purchase price and insurance/registration. I use Hagerty for my insurance, average $85 to 115 a year for each motorcycle with full replacement coverage and roadside.

Yes Kissel Motorsports in Altoona PA

Do it.

That motor punches above its specs.

It's the smallblock that feels closest to a big block I've ever felt.
