Congrats and welcome to the GT Forum & Guzzi Famiglia. Hope you’ll add your info for the first post of this thread.Purchased new in September. It's been sitting on dealer floor for 4 years. Replacement for 2015 Honda CTX 700 which became unreliable at 63,000 miles. I use it every day and for camping trips in the southwest U.S.
Welcome !
I didn’t know there was a V9 Sport ?
So how long was it between each purchase ?
It is not, due to the V7 frame bend and seat latch location.I didn't know / realize it / they had the short fender in the back - I wonder if its transferable.
Other than that HUGE plate
Yea I know they are a bit hideous. You can get the plates made slightly smaller and just about get away with it. That makes a difference, I have one on order.Not as long as I would have hoped TBH! Only a few weeks between them but I decided I would worry about all that after I got it. I got the all clear from my (lovely) wife so jumped on it. I knew the V9 Sport existed but also that there were very few (maybe half a dozen) imported into the UK in 2019. I think using Sport is a bit misleading because it isn’t sporty at all compared to very many bikes but it’s a nice looking thing. It’s got Ohlins rear shocks, a small alloy headlight spoiler, nicely machined alloy foot pegs and slightly re-styled exhaust caps, not forgetting of course that colour scheme. Those were the main differences over a standard Bobber. I know it’s a well worn cliché but I like how the Guzzi’s feel when you ride them, the whine, the thudding, the noise, they feel very analogue in a digital world. To me anyway.

Congrats and Merry Xmas to you! Welcome aboard, and look forward to your pic(s) and next post.2017 Roamer, 757 miles, ZGULHUⁿ7HM000253 , I picked up today, pic to follow. D. King, Mount Joy, PA
Yea be something nice to look forward to in the Spring!
Thanks. I live in Prescott, AZ and bought it at Powersports Outlet. (powersportsoutlet.com) They've been doing the service on my bikes for 20 years. I've had just about every bike (including 6 Harleys) since I've been riding for 60 years - start in 1960 when I was 15. This will probably be my last bike as I'll be 77 in a couple of months. I've added a luggage rack, side bags, Barkbuster hand guards, GIVI windshield and Corbin seat so far. I have about 2500 miles on it now. Would have more because I ride every day but we've had snow and rain lately in Prescott. I'm looking into either risers or pull-back bars - I like riding sitting straight up rather than bent over.Congrats and welcome to the GT Forum & Guzzi Famiglia. Hope you’ll add your info for the first post of this thread.
Where’d you buy the bike from? Hopefully they set it up properly for you, as the floor time is extremely long and not ideal.
Guzzis can be long term durable bikes (I had 264k miles on my original before transforming it) when set up properly and well cared for. Otherwise those who treat them like Hondas will always be disappointed. These are in large hand-built Italian niche machines.
If we can be of help here in SoCal, click on the Service link above. Hope to see you posting often.
G'day Fred. You mentioned that you added a Corbin seat, is it the Gunfighter or Gunfighter & Lady you fitted ? I am looking toward the Corbin for my wife and I and was wondering if it gives any extra room (length) over the standard Bobber seat.Thanks.
