Guzzi Made the #1 Slot, for Once!
« on: May 13, 2020, 04:57:15 PM »
A channel that I watch a lot did a video on the top 10 sportiest cruisers. Surprisingly, the V9 Bobber made the number 1 slot. If you want to skip past all of the other stuff and just catch his quick review of the V9, skip to the 11:36 mark in the video.

Glad Moto Guzzi made the list.  I don't support Yammienoob so didn't watch the video.

People don't always update their signatures, now do they.  I will change my post if that will make you happy.   :laugh:

sportiest cruisers.


Surely this is the oxy moron totally embraced, the best tasting crap sandwich is......... Guzzi have long made cruisers that don't handle like cruisers or stop like them for that matter, the cruiser market has repeatedly demonstrated it doesn't care.

I have one too, but I really don’t think of it as a cruiser.  It’s really a stylish standard,  no foot forward stuff, unless you opt for it.  Guzzi markets them as standard here in North America.

But I do see it as a direct competitor to mid mount sportsters and Yamaha Bolt, only much better.

Right? Of all the YouTubers to give props to the Eagle, we get the guy who’s infamous for his wreckless run-in with a Porsche.

...ah well. At least he has lots of subscribers who’ll watch the vid.

I will forevermore use this thread as an example of how, even in the simplest of "oh, cool!" situations, people will always find things to complain about. Especially us Guzzi riders.  :laugh: :thumb:

Well, when it comes to "original content" on YouTube, there is a lot to complain about.  LOL! 

Once in a while you come across something truly original and inspired. 

After watching a lot of YouTube content lately, I told my wife she needs to start a channel to talk about equestrian topics.  She can just re-hash what she read in books and learned from her instructors without giving them acknowledgement, smile, show a little cleavage, and become an "influencer".   :wink:

Also around the 6 minute mark there is a moving shot of an EV dash.

All in all, another opinion piece at best but it's nice to see Guzzi getting some notoriety.

I watched this out of sheer boredom, and it doesnt seem like he actually rode any of the bikes? He just narrated over stock pictures & B-roll of people riding cruisers?

I don't care much for that blogger (well thats true for most), but it was good to see a Guzzi getting recognized for what it is and more than the spec sheet.

If a Bobber Sport pops up on clearance resistance may be futile.
