My upgrade was worth it

I was driving my guzzi v7 and it was quiet of experience but i decided to make un upgrade with my new queen, the v9 and i'm going to tell you why. Me and my wife are big adventurers and we like going on longer roads with our two-wheeler. The v7 was a very extraordinary bike bit i decided to upgrade it with v9 just because of the ergonomics. V9 has more relaxed handlebars and stretched seat which is crucial for long road journeys. It has smoother ride and a slightly longer wheelbase, which again is what we are aiming for. Don't get me wrong, we had a great time with our v7 but i recommend it more for twisty roads and commuting than all-day highway stretches. So yeah, if you want a bike for longer roads then the v9 is super great choice :)

I see I see. Looks like the V9 is worth upgrading to! I appreciate comfort so thanks for dropping info regarding the smooth ride and stretched seat. I'd prefer that.

Interesting thread, yeah yeah the V9's comfort and smooth ride make it a good choice for adventure, are there any mods you're planning to make it even more road-ready?
 
It is good you're upgrading for comfort, but just be mindful of the V9's heavier weight on tight, twisty roads, it might not be as nimble as the V7 in those situations.
 
Definitely agree, the extra weight of the V9 is noticeable in the corners, but it does make for a comfy ride. Are you thinking about hitting a lot of twisty roads or just cruising around?
 
@LoudAndProud oh yeah, that's a cool upgrade! The V9's more relaxed riding position and smoother ride really do sound like a game-changer for longer trips with two-up riding. Have you noticed a significant difference in fuel range or comfort with the V9's seat over extended hours compared to your V7?
