I noticed the Roamer's rear shocks look like standard Sach rear shocks but without the chrome shroud and a different bump stop.

On my 09 rear stock shocks the bump stop was a yellow poly bump twice as thick looking! Left only about an inch and a 1/2 free travel!

Not bad looking, in fact, the more I look at it, the more I like it, but, the handle bars are too high.    I'd definitely want to swap 'em out for flat bars, or maybe just something the height of the V7 Stone/Special.

MOTO GUZZI: A NEW ENGINE AND FIVE NEW MODELS OF PAST AND FUTURE

Piaggio Group: New Aprilia, Guzzi, Piaggio and Vespa at EICMA 2015
We start from the most prestigious brand, to Mandello. At 5 years from the centenary, the House Aquila presents in EICMA 2015 five new models, including three completely new. The novelty in our opinion the most striking and waiting is the pair of bikes equipped with the new 850 cc engine, which is the custom Roamer V9 and V9 Bobber (pictured) . We reiterate that the engine is completely new, it is not the 750 plus. Currently there is no other information, but the architecture V 90 ° seems the one thing remained unchanged ... A look to the only available image of Roamer allows us to notice an unusual frame, beautiful alloy wheels inspired by those of the California in 1400, which looks to refer also the new cylinders. To the majestic Nevada, completely changing the design, more contemporary and respectful of the latest trends made ​​in the USA, but it seems to be able anchedire that generally finishes show a nice improvement. Up to date electronics, as portends the tone wheel flange on the front disc (of course there will be the ABS, then, but there sbilanciamo saying that if the current V7 has traction control, even on the V9 can not miss , also saw an estimated increase in performance). Also the "States" look the other first fruits by Moto Guzzi. It comes in fact a bagger inspired concept MGX-21 seen last EICMA . The official presentation will be at Sturgis, in August 2016, but in the meantime at the Milan Show will debut in public. In Guzzi they say the transition from bike show in the series model has been without compromise. We'll see. The platform V7 II remains however for two models that look at the tradition mandelliana: the V7 Racer and scrambler Stornello . Back then a legendary name for a bike that retrieves the name, style and technique (color, pattern tires and an exhaust top) of the very first Italian motorcycle turned into scrambler in the '60s and' 70s, starting with the original Stornello. We conclude section Guzzi anticipating that there will be an expansion of the range of special components Moto Guzzi Garage.

There's not going to be a whole lot of roaming with what looks like a smallish tank and a pretty thin seat.

The saddle looks like it's good for about 45 minutes or a tank full whichever comes first.

I disagree regarding the seat on the Roamer.  It doesn't look particularly much slimmer than the current V7.  The Bobber seat on the other hand looks like a slab.  I guess it depends on the materials used. 

For two-up riding though.....yikes.

The front forks look a bit long - front looks high.
Is it in fact an 850?

The new V9 Bobber debuts at the 2015 Milan Show EICMA. Bobber wants to attract a younger dynamic and aggressive, following in the theme presented by the Bold 1400.Hence the look is minimalist and essential, the monochrome-black livery and oversize tires that show more muscular and sporty intent. The technical material is fully shared with its sister Roamer, with a fast, lightweight chassis that houses the 850cc lateral V-twin.
Uniquely designed and finished, with fine painting on the tank (strictly metal) and precise welding and work well on the frame. Of course it will be endless list of customization available, along the lines of the operation Guzzi V7 Garage devoted to that ... without much imagination we imagine will be the boundless success of the v9.

The rear brake pedal setup looks a bit untidy.  :boozing:

And the fat tyres? And the piddly tank? Pays far too much homage to Harley. Just make one that looks like a V7 Special or even a Lario and then I'll get excited.

Do you think so? I'd have a really hard time finding one. I think the number of clean good looking standard motorcycles out there is very limited.

You don't have to look far. The standard V7 and Griso beat this thing hands down.

Yes, the V7 is one of the few out there. But I prefer the V9!

Now just put that engine in the V7II  and Guzzi would have hit a home run. This bike is just a double.

True, well done Moto Guzzi!

I think this bike will age well.

I think the name is pretty cool.  Certainly not typical, yet implies the machine is built to go places unknown, to prowl the many back roads and urban haunts of a big world!

To me, it looks like they had a Bonneville or 2 parked in the design studio along with some older Guzzi's. At least it doesn't look like a harley.
