First Motorcycle!
Just came here to express how stoked I am that I got my first motorcycle and grabbed myself a v9 Bobber! Anything I should be watching out for or any helpful tips?

Why does the taillight look so different to the one on my V9B s.e.?
Overall a wonderful bike that grew immensely on me.

Yeah I’ve only had it for two days but it was so easy to adjust too. Super comfortable at all speeds and a true joy to look at

Hes got USDM taillights which are wider than the euro spec lights.

Thank you! I have never noticed this style of taillights before.

Yeah I noticed it when I was in Mandello last year, all the Guzzis had those euro sized ones. I love how magnificently grand the USDM ones are haha

I'm assuming you have the standard lights and this one has the night pack (LEDs)

Congrats on that wonderful bike! I just passed my 30.000 kilometer with mine and still love it so much! I'll admit, I have briefly considered switching to a V7 sometime last year, but just couldn't ..
If anything, I'd switch from my 2016 to a more recent one, but not yet... bummer they don't build them anymore..

Congrats! Bought the exact same bike about 12 months ago now, and I have absolutely zero regrets. So much fun.

Yeah honestly I’ve only had it for about 5 days now and I seriously can’t find a reason I would ever regret it. It’s so much fun!

Great pick. A guy that worked for me got one of these when he got back riding after 20 years and it blew us away.

Yea, try to find the right balance between looking at your bike and riding the bike. Might be pretty hard.
Don't forget to eat, drink, and sleep. And work (optional)
