This nameplate appeared as a sport-oriented variant of Moto Guzzi’s V9 Bobber in the 2018 model-year lineup, adding a more aggressive visual treatment and chassis-focused accessories to the existing V9 cruiser platform. In official Moto Guzzi price lists, the V9 Bobber Sport is listed alongside the regular V9 Bobber for 2018, showing that it was marketed as a distinct version rather than a separate mechanical family. The model carried forward into later model-year materials, including MY20 references, which confirms a continuous production run through the end of the original V9 generation.
The V9 family itself was Moto Guzzi’s mid-size cruiser line built around the 853 cc transverse V-twin architecture shared with the broader small-block Guzzi range. The Sport version emphasized the bobber theme with a darker, leaner presentation and a single-seat, custom-styled character aimed at riders who wanted a more compact and purposeful look than the standard V9. It sat between factory cruiser and accessory-led custom build, appealing to enthusiasts who wanted a ready-made version of the Bobber concept without moving up to the larger Moto Guzzi custom models.
For the 2021 model year, Moto Guzzi refreshed the V9 range with updated engines and electronics, but the Sport badge no longer appeared; the lineup continued under the V9 Bobber and V9 Roamer names instead. That makes 2020 the final model year for this specific Bobber Sport nameplate.
