V9 Bobber is the sporty custom from Moto Guzzi that introduced the medium-engine-size bobber category. It’s a bike with a huge and authentic personality and a minimalistic style, characterized by the almost-entirely total black look of every component and by large, oversized tires that ensure abundant contact on the ground, just like the ones mounted on the motorcycles in the second post-war American era that raced on fast dirt tracks, leading to the bobber phenomenon.
And it is precisely this authentic sporty heritage that characterizes the V9 Bobber Special Edition, the new special series from Moto Guzzi with a nocturnal look that stands out with its truly unique equipment package.
First and foremost, the new Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber Special Edition boasts a special Workshop twin-tone black and grey color scheme that enhances the metal teardrop fuel tank (which has a billet aluminum cap), and it also extends to the aluminum side panels. The bar-end mirrors mounted at the ends of the handlebar, along with the fork seals and the short front mudguard, complete the equipment.
These elements amplify the sensation of perceived quality that is already high on the V9 models. The welds of the new frame and the quality of its paintwork are immaculately finished, as are the meticulous details of the 90-degree transverse V-twin engine, not only in terms of the casting but also the matte black that brings out the Moto Guzzi branding milled on the aluminum cylinder head covers.
It pays to look at the intimate details of this motorcycle, its touch conveying the construction tradition and culture so typical of the best Moto Guzzi models.
The unmistakable sound of the Moto Guzzi 850 twin cylinder is highlighted by the street-legal slip-on exhaust painted matte black, with the bottom in aluminum and characterized in the terminal part by a sleek, oblique shape.
Elegance and sportiness blend together in this special V9 Bobber version, characterized, as always, by a sporty, active and extended riding position that is never sacrificed, thanks to the on-board space — ideal even for the tallest riders. These qualities, along with the overall curb weight limited to just 210 kilograms and its seat height of just 785 millimeters, brilliantly emphasize the high level of comfort, control and riding pleasure of a truly unique and unmistakable bike.
