The Bobber has a 16-inch front wheel and fat tyre combined with relatively flat ’bars, the Roamer a 19-inch wheel and conventional tyre with pull-back ’bars. The seats are also different, but it’s hard to tell - the Roamer’s is slightly thicker, but both could do with more padding - more on that later. • Both bikes share the 90-degree four-stroke two-valve air-cooled V-twin motor, instruments, suspension, transmission, rear wheel and most ancillaries. Less critical differences include tyres - the Bobber is supplied with Continentals, the Roamer with Pirellis and the colours. The Roamer is the more conservative, and is available in dark red, off white or gold, while the Bobber comes in flat black with red highlights or Grey with yellow highlights. • V-Twin power • The style of the new V9s is very retro. Get up close and you can see how it all works, with hoses and cables visible between the cylinders, which themselves poke out into the air thanks to the way the V-twin motor is positioned in the chassis. • For those new to Moto Guzzi, all its bikes for decades now have been powered by a V-twin motor which has the crank in line with the bike, so the cylinders poke out each side just in front of the rider’s knees. • Go to http://www.cycletorque.com.au/jul16 to read the full test
