Yo! I bought this bike from Eurocycle in Las Vegas! I'm EXTREMLY Pleased! The reason it seemed lazy to you, is this engine NEEDS to be broken in... It is literally a Kawasaki z650... Same engine... except the Morini has ALL the extras that are missing from the Kawasaki.. Brembo brakes, Digital Bluetooth display WITH navigation!! 43mm Upside-down fork that's fully adjustable.. WAY better tires than what comes on the z650.. All for less... Not to mention the fact that this bike is BEAUTIFUL and CLASSY!! It is NOT a street squid bike... so.... I guess its for mature folks who want a well built, good looking naked bike with all the bells and whistles for less. Thanks and ride safe!!

In fact, if you ever have trouble locating parts, you can just look up parts list for Ninja 650 or z650 or even the Versys 650 and they will match up! Thanks!

@niospartan Hey there! Actually no, I haven't had a single issue! I take that back... the only issue I had was finding insurance due to Moto Morini being new in the US, most insurance companies do not have them in their system, so when you give them the VIN number, it doesn't show up. Fortunately, I jumped through all the hoops for you and STRONGLY recommend you use AllState Insurance. I did all the leg work and had Morini added to their system. Not to mention their insurance was by far the lowest around! But mechanically, no issues! Remember, it's a ER6n engine so they have been around forever and are bullet proof! Use a K&N 303 for the oil filter.. believe me, I just saved you some time right there :)

New 750cc Italian-designed 90degree V-Twin Morinis are on the way!

Just got to test ride this bike!! Coming from someone who owns an FZ6R and an Interceptor 650, these are my thoughts: THE GOOD: - not sure what's wrong with yams bike. 0-60 for my demo SCR was 4 seconds flat, the bike absolutely scooted and felt as fast as my FZ6. Felt about as light too; and the weight is kept low. My guess is that the bike sits closer to 450lbs wet and the hp is slightly under-reported or the gearing is just that short. No issues at all doing 100+MPH - handling was fantastic. Incredibly modern and smooth, like riding a magic carpet. It competes with my FZ and puts my Royal Enfield to shame. - motor is reasonably smooth with no unsettling vibrations. Just a subtle pulse which gradually increases to a minor buzz at redline. The bike let me knew it was there and I wasn't bothered with poor vibrations like on some inline 4s or twin-cyl bikes. THE BAD: - Motor runs worryingly hot. Like way hotter than a 650 making "55hp" should run. I've owned chinese bikes before, and this gave me similar vibes. Namely, I'd trust it to go anywhere for the first 3 years. I would NOT be confident owning this bike for the next 20 years after that. - power is WAYYY up at the rev range. This is where it does in fact feel like an overgrown 300; I had no pull until about 5,000RPMs deep into the tach, and max thrust is basically achieved at redline. The motor is not particularly linear and makes you work to go fast. It's all the (subjectively) annoyances of a 600 supersport with none of the power. - sounds like a far blown through a tin can. I could probably live with the revviness of the motor if it sounded like a crossplane twin but that crankshaft stops me from enjoying it whatsoever. The bike... FEELS Japanese. I truly felt like I was riding a versys 650 wearing a bow tie and a suit. If you're looking for a raw Italian sportbike, this isn't it. This bike is something you buy as a second bike to keep miles off your project bike, or as a more attractive replacement to a scooter. If the objective is PURELY transportation in style, it's a beautiful machine. And I have faith in the Morini brand: the new 750 corsa corta v-twin bikes look incredibly promising! I hope to see more, and to see better from them in the future :)

Tbh at this price point it’s definitely too expensive for the ride and build quality, while not being special under any aspect. Though I have to admit: it’s one of the most beautiful bikes, I love what they did to the headlight (it looks way cooler than the trident, and even the CB650R’s) and the industrial design complements the bike perfectly.

Wow 55hp? My Cf moto CLX 700 Sport is 50cc bigger and 20 more hp! W/ aftermarket midpipe/muffler, it weights in at about 430lbs wet. Built as good as a Kawasaki!

I don't know why my comment was removed but like what I said I have this bike and it's about $1800 cheeper in my country than Honda CB600 and Trident 660. For the price you get a lot like Brembo, ABS and good LCD screen by which now it gets Map mirroring on your phone. I don't know also why your acceleration is slower that most reviews but mine is definitely not that slow.

Wow it's been decades since I have heard of Moto Morini! I thought they had folded. My step father had one that he let us kids ride around on. Think it was a 175.

Wow just as I was thinking it could not get worse. Nothing screams reliability like Italian motorcycle made in China, or the other way I don't care.

bikes nowadays are more focused on the torque figures and 0-100 stuff.... that's everything for Street roads.... because a track enthusiast won't settle even settle for 14 year old stock R6 or Zx6R.... 💸💸

Interesting review, interesting bike. Looks cool, great Starbucks run bike? lolol. I'd be interested in a similar review of the ADV bike they make, the X-CAPE. Comparing that to the CF Moto ADV bike could be, ugh - fun?

I test rode one at Americade and really enjoyed it! Seems a good choice for someone who wants a new motorcycle without breaking the bank.

You can tell Yammie was trying real hard not to dog this bike lol

Do one one benelli 150s please!

I am waiting for Corsar Sport review. it looks very promising.

I think I would like to see a Morini STR style fuel tank on the Trident.

That’s SI unit for pressure. 1/100 of a BAR. Note: on the side tag you probably find pressures given in bar (or in Pa) so it’s easier to compare actual values to target. Also nowadays most manometers have multiple gauges so it’s easy to use the unit your specs are given in. Anyway if the dash can be set in metric or in imperial MM should have converted the units.

It would interest me who would buy this over a used SV 650 or Mt 07 . You could even get them new . Cb650 t aswell

I love your videos

Could you cover the fantic caballero please?

Can you test their adv bike , the morini x-cape

I agree that it looks cool, but as the saying goes, speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?

If it was this or an mt07 on A2 I would go for this otherwise it falls a bit short it's just in this awkward position with just above A2 power just tune it down 8hp and keep the torque and it's a solid deal

I have a clx 700 from cfmoto and it is amazing

Perfect for Daily City Ride..

As soon as i heard the price, mt07 came to mind. 2022 MT07 otd for me was $9649 1 year later and im still giggly about it. But i can see where someone might want Moto Morinni

its the same CF Moto 650 clon form er6n and if you change exhoust and remap you can get +10hp easy

Every hobby or passion has good news, and bad news. The bad news is “ you get what you pay for”. The good news is “ you get what you pay for”, but only if you’re very lucky.

Hmmm. Going to pay the same insurance premiums as every other 650 but only has the power of a 500. And how's the dealer network? Am I going to get warranty work done within 50 miles of my home? Availability of parts? Every bike needs a clutch someday.

I have ridden a lot of Royal Enfields and Guzzis and the Seiemezzo feels a lot more like a modern sportbike than the unique experiences the V7 and Conti GT offer. Yams bike has some issues or something cause the morini was absolutely scootin' and had pleeeenty of power

Also, funny how the front calipers are front the rears of a multistrada v4

I have seen these on Eurocycle and have wondered how they justify the price. Higher than established Japanese and CFMOTO prices and far less hp, this will not sell unless it is the only bike in the dealership or extreme markdown.

Do a moto guzzi stelvio review

The Motor it's a Kawa 650 blueprint made by CFmoto btw same at adventura and 650nk

Thisis like comparing a 6 cylinder mustaing to a v8 gt.they look the similar but performance is greatly different. That has the old kawasaki 650 twin in it so ya its gonna be last generation feeling,but still great looking bike for someone that dont care for the performance and just wants to ride the road.

another chinese/italian bike to try is the benelli 502c

Hey Yammie, kpa is a metric measurement.

Like yammi said.. or maybe a little crusing... and now they are 2023 on sells for 6 grand even... obvious plus TTL..... I dont know I bought a CFMOTO CL-X 700 good power, nice cafe retro look, and for some reason, everyone said this was a big deal.. but I will never use it... is cruise control... apparently for 4100 dollars, you never get crusie control. I bought a brand new 2022 model, like a coupel of weeks ago and honestly couldnt be happier..... The only thing I wish is instead of the round electronice display, it would be the 5 inch TFT display they literally put on everything else.

Funny that you say it makes only 55hp, in Europe, with all the Euro5+ emissions regulations it is rated at 61hp... Also, the motor is Chinese (maybe most of the bike is, the style is definitely Italian), it's the CF-moto 650 that is a copy of the Kawasaki 650, used in models like the Versys etc...

i think my cb300r would be a good race for that.
