The forgotten Motoguzzi.

Moto Guzzi have been producing motorcycles out of the same factory for over 100 years. That's an amazing achievement that gives Moto Guzzi the authenticity and heritage that some other manufacturers can only dream about.
I had a 2021 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber Centenario for just over a month for review, so in this video I'm going to let you know what I liked, what I didn't like, and let you know if I think the V9 Bobber is a good bike for a Pie Run.
I like to say thanks to both PS Imports and Motociclo for arranging the bike for this video. If you'd like to see more reviews on the Moto Guzzi range let me know in the comments.
Also a big thanks to our channel review sponsors, Motorcycle Stuff. If you are after a new jacket, helmet, jeans or gloves then check out the range at www.motorcyclestuff.com.au
Some of the gear I was wearing in his video includes,

This bike could have some real potential as a cafe racer , albeit , with cruising capabilities. Removing and replacing that saddle with a cafe one would really increase that ‘wow’ factor. Would you know of any modified v9’s out there ?

@karlgustav5490 6 ай бұрын

to have cruising capabilities, they should have changed the fork for a better one. biggest problem of this bike is stability! behind a van or even a large car, up to 110 kmh, you are praying to stay alive. in curves at reasonable high speed, it's worse, and you can try any tire you want, after 6k km, the bike wobbles dangerously between 70 and 90 km/h.. i tried everything to reduce the problem: changing heigh of the fork, adding or removing windshield, changing handlebars and risers, tested many tires, and many tire pressure, changed the stock shocks for Skock factory etc.. it's better, but far from what it should be. the only thing which work is changing the fork and add a Misano Kit springs, but it's too exensive. i ride a lot with it and sportively( not speed but lot of angle in twwisties) , it's my main vehicule, i made long trips every time, up to 3 or 4000 km. so, you can cruise with it but, like said my guzzi dealer, i am the only one he knows who ride so much with this bike.. about saddle, after 40k km, i finally dont care about it even if , it's like sitting on a plank :) ps, i talk about the 2018 , not the new one which doesnt have stability problems

Sure have ridden the V7 Special, review on the channel about 6 months ago. The V9 actually handles ok, but you are correct the V7 does handle better. We are getting the new V7 stone as well as the V100 Mandello for review very soon. Out if the V7 and V9 I prefer the V7

Good test (too much v7 tests, we need more v9 videos...) I own the same model and I can say that's more similar to a naked than a cruiser, only style & tyres remind to a cruiser bike....in the complex I'm satisfied (I came from Harley): fuel consumption, assembly quality, brakes & engine are very good
