At the heart of the 2022 Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer 850 motorcycle, Moto features a purpose-built air-cooled engine configuration. In factory specification, 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. Internal engine geometry specifies a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Guzzi V9 Roamer 850 measures 194 kg (428 lbs) dry. 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.
