Rider Profile

Best ForSuits new-to-intermediate riders thanks to its modest power delivery, low-mid torque, and predictable, non-threatening handling.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising, city commuting, and classic-style weekend rides rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 815 mm seat height and manageable 210 kg wet weight make it accessible for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA laid-back, air-cooled V-twin cruiser with old-school Moto Guzzi charm, shaft-drive simplicity, and torquey low-end delivery.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking high-speed touring, aggressive cornering performance, or any off-road capability.

2022 Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer 850 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2022 Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer 850, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
