Moto Guzzi have revealed an all-new pair of V9 850cc V-twins called the V9 Roamer and Bobber which feature new engines and are pitched at the mid-capacity cruiser market. The firm have been working over the past five years to completely revamp the entire range of bikes on offer and the V9 Roamer and Bobber now fill-in the mid-point between the smaller V7 and the 1400cc California cruisers. The V9 Roamer (left) is the more traditional of the two, and is heralded as the modern replacement for the famous Moto Guzzi Nevada. Both bikes have ABS, switchable traction control and a USB charging port as standard, while they both also feature a new circular dash. Although both bikes are styled very traditionally, they boast technology and accessories to integrate modern innovations such as the firm's MG-MP multimedia platform, which allows the bike to connect to rider's smartphone. The V9 Bobber (right) is a darker design and features wide tyres fitted to the 16-inch spoked front and rear wheels, plus blacked out engine and chassis parts.

The dimensions have increased slightly making for more comfort in the saddle and increased space on the footboard. The digital instrumentation is new, as are the LED running lights.
