Title: any thorough reviews V9 Roamer?
Post by: lucydad on March 10, 2016, 09:35:56 AM
All,

I have missed weeks of inter web service, and been busy with the new house set up and unpacking.  Just wondering:  have there been any thorough, and english language, reviews of the new Guzzi V9 Roamer bike?  Just curious.  Mike at MPH announced on the Guzzi TEXAS FB group that his remaining stock went to the Guzzi warehouse in north TX.  So much for a near-term chance for a local Houston dealer.  I find that amazing and baffling.  Piaggio must be difficult, or has other plans.

Ok, time to walk poodles thru mud, deal with Grandpa Larry and do more unpacking.  Weather is supposed to dry out, so a ride may be in the plans Friday?

Nothing that I have seen. I, too, am waiting for a review, however brief it might be.

A V7, a V9 and a Triumph Triple...sounds like the Trifecta!

Paul,

You never know....lol. 

Sitting on my retirement car money now--starting to heat up and will burn hole in my pocket soon.  Still need time to shop and decide.  Also need to finish clearing out garage space from moving boxes, etc. 

Porsche is about the only car that really turns my head and twists my heart on the sporty side.  If I go practical:  likely Mazda CX-5.  Then, later..still possible a sporty thingy.

New Alfa Romeo start at $70,000.00 like a Guzzi with 4 wheels.

Only one go around on this Planet...might as well make it a fun one.  The Porsche will put a smile on your face...the Mazda...ho hum!

Far be it from me to make you spend your money, but it sounds like you should enjoy yourself in retirement a bit more than you might have allowed yourself to do up till now...

The last 2 months have been perfect riding weather just about every weekend...hopefully that continues for another couple of months before the stickiness returns...

Cedar Vale is coming up in a few weeks... optimal chance to put some miles on and do some camping!
