MOTO GUZZI: taxi. V9 Bobber
The Moto Guzzi V9 is a motorcycle produced by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Moto Guzzi since 2016. It comes in two versions: Roamer and Bobber.
Previewed at EICMA in November 2015, like the other Moto Guzzis, the engine is an air-cooled 90° longitudinal V-twin cylinder, four-stroke, but in this case it is totally new with a displacement of 853 cm³, with a power of 55 HP at 6250 rpm.
It features two valves per cylinder, controlled by a single central camshaft and operated via rocker arms. The intake valve is made of titanium, which allows for a sharper crankshaft profile due to its low weight. Fuel is fed via an electronic injection system and the air intake is controlled by an electronically actuated central throttle body (so-called “ride by wire”), allowing for different response settings. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive. At launch, the bike was homologated to Euro 4 standards.
The front suspension features a 40 mm telescopic fork with 130 mm travel, while at the rear it uses a single double shock absorber with swingarm.
In 2021, the bike underwent an update, with the engine being adapted to the Euro 5 standard developing 65 HP, 10 HP more than before, delivered at 6800 rpm.
The V9 Bobber Special Edition version is presented in 2022, with a special black and gray twin-tone color scheme and bar-end mirrors fixed to the handlebar ends
