I could not see the rear pre-load but it is fairly normal to set the rear pre-load as soft as possible. Not only improves comfort but handling too. When they do demo rides from the factory, they stop after about 10km to drop the pre-load. Replacement shocks are usually softer rather than more sporty.
I've had a roamer for just over 3 years now and all I can say is its a very underrated bike. Please go and test ride one, trust me you'll be surprised. I've done over 40,000klm on mine and only had 2 small problems. It is a fantastic touring bike with very comfortable ergonomics, great fuel range, I usually fill up at 320klm and there is still a few litres left in the tank. The seat is amazing and I've done about 800klm in a day and not too bad at all. The only gripe I have with it is the rear suspension, but that's the next upgrade on my list. Oh yeah its also not bad off road as you can stand up pretty easy, but you just can't go too fast as the suspension travel is pretty poor.
Thank you. I was wondering about the differences between the euro 4 and euro 5 models, or how is it different since the v7 and v9 also share the same engine. Nowadays Colors are dull comparing to the past.
@@le_kakis I had to replace the starter switch, and the gear linkage broke. Both not too hard to replace. Worst thing about both times was waiting for parts. Maybe they've got their act together now but if not be prepared to wait a long time!
Great review and experience sharing. It s difficult to choose among the triumph, and guzzi and then v7 vs the v9s. Maybe a mix of V9 bobber with a better seat plus a windshield and eventuallly some new rear suspensions would be perfect.
Thank you 🙏 I think for coolest look the V9 Bobber and then you just get a spare seat and screen for touring and take them off and put standard stuff back on for playing around town at home…..
@@laurentvenet2758 actually not, I read up on it. .I also ride a Triumph speed triple RS, and Harley Softail Hertaige. The V7, is great, as you know..quite nimble.
Over here in the states, the Roamer is no longer available with the improved 853cc motor. Is it possible to buy bars, seat and a small wind screen for the bobber to address some of the problems with the bobber?
Yeah, no Dealer in durban. So no moto guzzi for me. Imagine the cost for service 🙄. How much money you going to spend on motorcycle transport? Very beautiful motorcycle though. Wonder what's the after market support from moto guzzi Italy?
One of the best and most credible review of the MG Roamer vs. MG Bobber I have seen to date.
Thank you 🙏
you just saved me!!!! I was about to buy the bobber but that was not what I was really looking for......the roamer it is!
Super Video, great bikes, most beautiful country. Thank you „ Route21“. !!!

What are the problems you've had if you can share them?
Can you share the problems of the bike?

Loooove this trip.... awesome bike..... 👏🏍
Love this ride on review. Most are boring. Those Agostinis are the go 👍🏼🇦🇺
Just picked up the Moto Guzzi V7, very nice..
Enjoy 🥳
Great did you try both before choosing ?

Great video, can you put rpm on the digital small display of the roamer? Thanks
To be honest, I can’t remember, would have to check that…..
How would you rate a V7 on a trip like this regarding seat and fuel range?
Also, when are you going to review the Moto Morini X Cape?

Sadly here in SA we have lost our importer, but I do think they are available as accessories
Great video. Enjoyed. Rode the v7 and the v58tt. Can check it.
p.s. You got my like.

Awesome....
Thank you 🙏
What was the mileage before the Roamer ran dry? I have 2 MGs 1984 V35 Imola and a 2003 Breva 750....Beautiful bikes ...Ciao
