Title: Well by now you know who you're dealing with, Picture time V9 Roamer
Post by: vintagehoarder on June 17, 2019, 07:31:33 PM: Well dropped off 2007 Calvin to trade in on the 2017 Roamer, it was sold before I got it off the trailer. Loving the Roamer, and you all know me I also love cameras :thumb:

When I got it home I think someone else may claim it :tongue: Click this video

Post by: Kev m on June 17, 2019, 09:11:11 PM: I was open to the bike when it came out.

I was prejudiced against it when I saw the first in person.

I fell ridiculously in love when I rode the Bobber Sport, but I suspect I'd feel the same about the base Bobber or the Roamer.

What a great development.

Edit, PS great pics, great color!

If we're being honest, I suspect that I would just buy the regular Bobber and never miss the Ohlins.

I mean I could test ride it first, but considering all the other bikes I've ridden in my life in about 99% certain it means jack to me.

Nice job capturing the tank from so many angles. A single profile picture just can't reveal the complex 3-dimensional shapes of that lovely tank or how narrow the 'hips' are. Gorgeous bike 🚴🏽

Interesting----------Why a Roamer over a Calvin?

It's newer?

You wanted a change?

You loose 75 lbs in the change of bikes?

You hate dual throttle bodies and like single disk brakes?

I ask because I'm looking at a MG cruiser but not the 1400 - I'm to cheap and it's to big

Post by: boatdetective on June 18, 2019, 03:38:58 PM: Isn't it funny how some bikes look so different "in the flesh"? I remember seeing this bike in the showroom and was bowled over by the paint finish. The metallic yellow is just phenomenal.

Same here and totally agree! We just got two of the new 2019 Honda Super Cubs, and pictures did not do them justice, they are little works for art, just like the Roamer, you have to see it!

Well I have a 1400 California Touring, and 84 California II auto as well, love them all but for travel if I had to choose, the 1400 hands down. I really didn't need three Cruisers, and wanted a lighter around town day bike.
