Motorcycles are predominantly about self expression and exploration, to me and to so many others it is about taking the road less traveled by to arrive at destinations rarely seen.

I have the 2017 bobber, you will feel a big difference if you try the roamer. The front end is much more stable and easy on the corners compared with the bobber. But the bobber looks much nicer. Cheers.
Why does the traction control upset you? I am looking to get a bike with traction control so just curious.
So how talls too tall for the bike? I adore the looks and kinda want one but I'm 6'5
I love my 2006 Hornet still have to this day 07/17/2024 17 years no problems
How tall are you?
How does it compare as far as size for a taller rider to a V7? I had a V7 and it felt small. This seat looks appealing with more room to move around.
You've answered some of the questions I had about these bikes, but also raised a few as well. I thank you for the time and effort you have put into this review and have found your research matching your honesty. Very much appreciated.
How does this compare to an sv650 ?whats it like cruising at 70 ?.
Brutale is more better! The mt 09 too!
And the 765 engine is to small! You cant drive smooth and chil under 5000 RPM!
So good Riding! But sooo ugly and small! 😢
Duke 790 is the more 💪 bike! Better elektrik and more! But ugly! The vitpilen Is the bike for Kids or Girls or diversity😂
The vitpilen 701 you can be Happy you can sell for 4000 to 5000,-€!! Nobody want it 😂😂
A shit Ducati Monster 1100 evo 2 cylinder you CANT drive under 4500 RPM!!!!🙄😂😂
Great review from an owner's point of view. Well done. To the point and .... cheeky too. LOL
Honest review right there... I love the looks and the price of it second hand. Too bad it doesn't like rain since it rains very often in Holland where I reside... but look who I am telling... 😀 Too many choices but I will short list this bike for sure...
Do you still have this bike? Today I went to have a look at a RE Interceptor and the V9 Bobber was sat next to it and I can't stop thinking about it... 😂
I went to trade in my Royal Enfield 350 for a RE Shotgun 650, but then I bought the V9 Bobber instead haha.
It's like Monty Pythons airforce-banter-sketch. 😆
One of the best no bullshit reviews ever
1) remove the side stand sensor 2) remove clutch position sensor
1) remove the side stand sensor 2) remove clutch position sensor
I have a big question about street, even a mt-10 is getting overheat in Mediterranean coastal climate. How this bike won't blow up with this compression rate and high HP ?
Maybe when I’m old and grey and tired of naked bikes I’ll retire to something like this. For now I’ll stick to an mt07. Just so much more fun to be able to pop a wheelie anywhere at any time.
I recently test rode the V7... Yes, it has character and not everyone rides one...There's no chain to deal with... However, the Ducati is in another league when it comes to riding dynamics( faster, lighter, better handling, better brakes) and no one can say an L-twin air-cooled Ducati lacks character, especially with a Termignoni slip-on.... Writing the Scrambler off, saying that it's a hipster bike is plain prejudice.... Ducati Scrambler is the Porsche 911 of this class...
Giving you review I’m convinced you detest the thing.
Sorry, I commented the wrong video previously, so I copy it here after some editing. Hi, this might sound weird but you are the only one - I know of - who has ridden both bikes that I have on my shortlist. The bikes are the KTM duke 890 r and the Moto Morini Corsaro ZZ. Shortly about my riding abilities and goals, which I hope explains these candidates that are pretty far apart. I used to be an amateur club racer and tracked an Aprilia RSV Factory (v2) for years until the kids came along. Nowadays, my riding is limited to one - hell of - a week in the Italian Alps (Dolomites) where I ride with local friends (you can imagine the tempo). Though, I have to add that we ride well within our abilities as those are public roads and wouldn't like to kill anyone (including ourselves). We take the bikes on a trailer or in a van to the premises, so the 6 days we spend in the saddle are practically pure canyon riding on mostly racetrack-like tarmac (one of my all time favourites is Passo Mendola, if you happen to know the place). That means that the only thing I am looking for in a bike is having fun in the saddle. Comfort is rather secondary, reliability is only important in so far as the bike should be OK for those 1K miles every year. Now, this might surprise most people, my wife loves riding with me as a pillion. She used to love the RSV that was professionally set up for track use and nowadays we ride on a Tuono Factory (also V2). Being a yoga instructor, she can cope with any bike and any position ;). She even liked my mate's Brutale 910 R and simply found the original Multistrada 1100 S boring being "too comfortable, and not sporty enough". I consider myself pretty lucky, in this respect, too. I am not a huge fan of electronic aids as on public roads they do not add much to the experience, if not take some away of it. I honestly think that I couldn't (or rather wouldn't be) faster on any bike than on my Tuono V2 in the twisties, simply because we ride on public roads. That is why I am looking for character, sublime handling etc. The fuelling (that is very important in the tight switchbacks or tornantes) on my race tuned RSV was phenomenal, but my old 999S was also exemplary in this department. However, I read so much good stuff about the 890 r that it really caught my attention. I am not afraid of eccentric Italian bikes after having owned and ridden older Ducatis, Aprilias, a Cagiva Xtra Raptor and some MVs. Still, I know that the Corsaro is a dark horse. My concern regarding the Corsaro is that it might be too much of a handful sometimes (if that makes any sense at all). On the other hand, the electronics may be so good on the Duke as they are, still I like to ride my bikes myself. Also, I am not sure if the bike's chassis can handle a pillion? So after such a long post, I wonder which would you choose if you were in my shoes (boots)?

Cool review..but everyone has to get to cool roads..via A roads..
It is a sweet ride alright. I have a V7 Special lll and I love it. Plenty fast enough, great torque, it wants to get on with it. And it’s nimble and steers so nice too. Sounds and looks great. And yes gets comments every day. I went Yorkshire to Holyhead and it eats the miles. Seat gets a bit hard, arse a bit sore, but it’s a class bike I love it. I traded up from a Honda rebel 500, I couldn’t get on with that. Good bike but steering was odd and I found it more difficult to move around than the Guzzi is. Guzzi is just a great bike.
I found a 2020 tc max that im Think of buying, would your cable and plugs fit that and how would the parameters be compared to the ones in your video? Would i be able to do 100km/h down the freeway? Last whats your web address? Best regards Jens
Hi mate, love your channel, I have a V7 850, ecu is flashed, has Mistrals and upgraded front progressive forks. I would like you to test ride it and see just how different it is compared to the previous models. It's has a 65bhp (measured at the back wheel, not at the the crank) so it's actually very surprisingly fast. Power wheelies in first gear. Get in touch man, I'm based in Richmond ;)
This newer 2021 rear is soooo ugly! 😂
the worst motorcycle ever! were squandered by KTM dealers NEW in 2020 for €6,400! because no one wanted her! the dealers were making endless losses!!! and no one ever wanted to sell one or trade it in again! 😂
Guzzi have best reliability of the italian bikes✊🔥
8v with over 80t miles with only small problems i have seen✊🔥🔥
What a waste of time watching. Arse.
Perfect contemporary cafe racer proportions. Fantastic design, the true inheritor of the BSA Goldstar legacy (sporty, powerful-single, cafe racer)...love it!
A bit late to thank you for the mention, sorry... But thanks! All the best, John
thank you for the review, I've been eyeing both and that's a scrambler and then save up for a v85tt (and skip the v7)
I always skip bike reviews with background music!
Just got one. My favorite bike so far.
This vs Royal Enfield Interceptor?
THIS. Although the RE's are pretty nice these days. I like the 350 Classic, Meteor, Interceptor, Continental GT and the Shotgun.
Looking at getting my first bike, and I think this is about perfect for me. I can only find used now as they are no longer made, so something with low miles. I think I would go with the Svartpilen. The seating position is a little more upright. Used they are around $6500. And there are a lot of upgrades from Rottweiler to increase the output a bit and improve the sound.
I'm 6ft 3 in tall and 200lb. Will this bike fit me ok ? I sure like the look, specs, and reviews of this bike.
road it like a pussy foot lol
もっとエンジンの音が聞きたかった
Does the engine in the CB1300 produce much heat - and heat up the seat or the riders legs etc? 🤔
S2r800?
Awesome bike and review...thanks so much!😊
Something I learned from a harley rider who was having battery issues, he bought a battery trickle charger so when he was not on it it was constantly charging the battery. Bike alarms etc are always a big drain on battery if the bike is not used regularly. In colder weather the battery loses a percentage per day again if not used regularly. To keep mine going I take it out for a good 4 or 5 hour run at least every two weeks or as weather permits. I have a Moto Guzzi California EV 1100. I had trouble with it until I replaced the catalytic converter with a cross flow pipe, have not had trouble with it since.
