2022 Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 650 Review | New 650cc twins to consider?
Italian heritage with a budget price, the brand-new Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 650 (or 6 and a half, In italian) is ready to hit the UK shores.
We head over to the well-trodden roads of the Peterborough area to try the Seimmezzo STR (Street) and SCR (Scrambler) variants to see what the well-specced 650cc twins are all about - and ultimately which one Alex prefers to scratch that middleweight A2 naked motorcycle itch.
Which would of these two would you opt for?

For me defo the scrambler. I would gladly ride one
I purchased the STR here in Las Vegas and I am EXTREMLY Pleased!! The bike Looks Amazing... When compared to any other 650 (it has the Kawasaki z650 engine) it out specs ANY other... Upside down fully adjustable 43mm forks, all Brembo Braking systems, ABS, full color Bluetooth screen WITH navigation... IT BLOWS AWAY the competitors!! I paid $4499!!! that's $6499 out the door with taxes and other charges!! YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER DEAL!!

How's it been 2 months on? I plan to get the scr also in vegas since they're pretty low price compared to when they first came out
Good review but a couple of fairly significant corrections: Moto Morini's own spec sheet advises Seiemezzo offers 54NM of torque, not the "round about 80NM of torque" suggested here - And a 16 litre tank on a mid size parallel twin will take you waaay further than 100 miles guaranteed.. MCN estimates suggested an awesome 191 mile range which is much more likely and almost double the "around about 100 miles per tank" suggested in this review

Easy on the throttle = 205 Typically riding habits = 185 An just getting it = 150 Not bad honestly, mine an new 2023 SCR. So, my weekend tends to some reasonable off road stuff too and plenty on... 130 miles doing that more often than not is a FUN day in the saddle! LOVE my 6 1/2!❤
Talks about the Yamaha Honda and Suzuki being competitors but doesn't mention Kawasaki which is basically what the bike really is.
What a fun looking bike. Thanks for the review. Keen to look more into them.
Not into chinese bikes. Bought a blue '23 SV 650 and who cares about usd forks. This bike looks great, runs great, sounds great. You know it will be running well at 100k miles with a modicum of care.Put a Cyclops LED H4 in- amazing difference for $80.Made in Japan and excellent customer support.Very happy.
A really good bike, i bought one and its perfect in any aspect!!! I don’t understand the bad comments, try one and you’ll see.

People just have bias against chinese bikes
Scr is the best scrambler, easy to maneuver and have very power torque and the throttle power is absolutely fabulous same with the STR. In the Philippines is much expensive compare to almost 7k in UK. The Scr costs 8,638 UK sterling pounds in the Philippines and very expensive .
Hi and thanx for the review!!!! The Scrambler is just a really beautiful bike, will you recommend this one to a 50 years old beginner as a first bike!??? I like also the Suzuki SV650, but this Scrambler seems to be excellent bike. Cheers from Serbia

ABSOLUTELY. Hope either your still considering or have simply bought one. Outstanding bike.
100 miles from a 16l tank? Surely not! Perhaps you meant 200 miles? 80Nm of torque would be great, but sadly it's not correct! Nice review but a bit more fact checking needed.
I think you need to hear reviews after 50k miles before deciding what a bike worth is. The 650cc market has suzuki v-strom, kawasaki versys, Honda transalp, Yamaha etc etc We're does this bike fit in at it's current price. Enjoyed your honest review, great video, great presentation.

Great review. The SCR is such a sweet bike. Thinking of trading in my cb500x which is mainly for commuting for this. Would anyone have any opinion?
The new Honda 750 is going to be £7,000. So it's a bit of a no brainer really. The problem with Chinese built bikes is perception and resale value. I remember the Morini 3.5. It was a great bike. Good luck to the co with them. They seem fine, if a bit down on power.

Sat on one, way to tall, and felt top heavy because of it. Foot pegs to far up and back for long rides. Sorry Moto Morini, I had cash in hand. Why do almost all manufacturers make their bikes so uncomfortable? Screw the sport bike crap, give me a bike I can f-ing ride for crying out loud.
Not bad-looking, good value, but I wouldn't want one.
Support the Chinese Communist Party - buy Moto Morini.

Most countries have regulations which don't allow it. The plate must be at a point that extends past the rear tire. I think it has to do with keeping the plate clean and visible
