Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer
The Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer was introduced in 2016 alongside its sibling the V9 Bobber, both built on a new small-block 853cc V-twin platform designed to bring a more accessible, lightweight cruiser to the Guzzi lineup. The Roamer takes a more classic café-meets-cruiser styling approach compared to the Bobber's chopper aesthetic, featuring a longer wheelbase and more upright ergonomics suited for touring. It has been praised for its characterful transverse V-twin engine, shaft drive reliability, and authentic Italian craftsmanship, making it a notable entry-level offering in Moto Guzzi's modern range.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Bevel Gears
The V9 Roamer uses a shaft drive with bevel gears that require periodic oil changes — neglected maintenance can lead to costly repairs. Always verify service history before buying used.
Steady Resale Value
Moto Guzzi V9s hold their value reasonably well due to low production numbers and strong brand loyalty among enthusiasts. Expect used models to retain around 70-80% of value after two to three years.
Iconic Transverse V-Twin
The 853cc air-cooled transverse V-twin engine provides a distinctly characterful riding experience with strong low-end torque, but air-cooling means it can run hot in slow city traffic.
