After the demise of my 01 Cal EV ( dropped valve at 126,000 miles ) I was looking hard at the V9 Bobber Sport. I had ridden a demo bobber before and really liked it. But the Sport has Ohlins suspension. One problem, no bags or luggage available. Then this Special Sport popped up for sale and I bought it. To my surprise it handles much like the Bobber I demoed. And it has bags. And it's a big block. I still really like the Bobber Sport but I saved a lot of money with this Special Sport, and that's important for a guy trying to live on social security.

I had a demo ride on one of these, at the Guzzi rally at Paul’s college earlier this century. Let’s just say the demo’s were conducted in a “spirited” manner. This bike was very quick, very nimble, IIRC.

Think the Special Sport is the same as the EV, exept some plastic, and the Special Sport has tube wheels and non adjustable fork. :popcorn:

Or a stone with a extra front brake rotor.. Does the SS have linked brakes like a EV?
-
Yes, the SS has linked brakes. But there must be some differences between the SS and EV besides cosmetics. The SS seems to sit just a little lower than my EV did. And I swear it feels 100 lbs lighter.
-
Nice score. That generation of EV variants is some of the best value vs. performance in the used motorcycle market. I still miss my 03 EVT.

It will really grow on you. After 19 years and various other bikes rotating through the stable. it is now the "comfortable shoe".

Sadly my 02 CSS will have to be a garage queen for a little while. It looks great well cared for and all that but it will need a new clutch among other things. It sure looks nice sitting next to my Victory Judge.
