Engineered by Moto Guzzi for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2022 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber 850 relies on a 853 cc (52.1 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 65 HP (47.4 kW) at 6,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 73 Nm (53.8 lb-ft) at 3,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 76.2 HP per liter and a 3,250 rpm working window between peak torque (3,000 rpm) and peak power (6,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the V9 Bobber 850 measures 210 kg (463 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.31 HP/kg (3.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,465 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 306 km (190 miles) between fill-ups.

Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
