Just a couple of days ago, we told you about the confirmed launch of the Moto Guzzi Roamer and the Bobber. And now, we bring you the price of these two new cruisers.
Piaggio will be launching the Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer and the Bobber at Rs 13.48 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). These new bikes will be sold through the company’s Motoplex showroom as completely-built-up (CBU) units.
First unveiled at the 2015 EICMA show, the V9 Roamer and the Bobber are built around Moto Guzzi’s new 850cc engine. This engine produces 55bhp at 6250rpm and peak torque of 62Nm at 3000rpm. This torquey motor is mated to a six-speed gearbox that transfers power to the rear wheel via a shaft drive. Just like the rest of the bikes under its portfolio, the company has focused a lot on the aesthetic value of both these versions. And honestly, both the bikes look great.
The Italian manufacturer’s main focus was to blend in the retro-modern design with modern technologies like two-level traction control which can also be deactivated and an anti-theft immobilizer. There’s also a USB port to take care of electronic charging requirements. These cruisers come with optional Multimedia Platform (MG MP) that connect wirelessly to a smartphone and allows the rider to monitor a variety of vehicle information. The MG MP includes a couple of features like eco ride, where the rider can access fuel consumption data.
Piaggio will launch the Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer and the Bobber in the next couple of days. The bookings for these cruisers have already begun at Rs 5 lakh. In terms of competition, these Italian cruisers have the Indian Scout and the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob.
