2024 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber SE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2024 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber SE classic motorcycle, Moto Guzzi features a 853 cc (52.1 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 65 HP (47.4 kW) at 6,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 73 Nm (53.8 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 76.2 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (6,800 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 SE 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 815 mm (32.1 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.
