If only Triumph or Yamaha had Italian designers.....

These look nice, but I’d probably still go for a Trident given the relatively small price difference.

The SCR looks awesome!

Love your videos!

Just saw the STR in Crete 🇬🇷 today (red too) - looks perfect 👍🏻

Surprising components and tech. Good review. Looking forward to the upcoming review of the X Cape or whatever it is called.

Would definitely buy one over anything from Royal Enfield 🙂

Nice looking, if a bit too Trident. Great to have new alternatives to ponder and consider but without a standout motor you’d have to be pretty determined to be different or particularly price sensitive to go for one. What you would get I’m sure is an enjoyable ride and interest from others wanting to know about it.

I love the look of these, as well as their adventure bike!

Can't wait to see your ride rivew.

Beautiful bikes and great value

They look nice but a bit heavy and slow. Prefer the Trident or Mt07. Probably easier to resell these to. 👍🏼

Heard moto morini is also launching in india, those 650 twins looks good

Scr looks FAB

I really wish they would opt for a v-twin and maybe even aim for a smaller engine size for beginners like a 350-500 sized v-twin like the old morini 3 and 1/2 twins… that would add something rlly unique to the A2 sized segment

Nice lookin' machines!

Like the look of this scrambler, looks appealing with its individuality. Priced nice too

This needed to be under 180 kilos fully fuelled. Plus a 17 inch front wheel on the road-focused version (with the appropriate chassis changes to accommodate it). I really like the looks, but with these specs I'd rather get a Fantic Caballero, lighter is always better!

this x-cape is beautiful

I had a Moto Morini 350 in 1979. I like the scrambler looks. Not sure if they will be available in the USA. Wanted to love the Trident but the riding position and suspension didn’t work for my beat up old body. The suspension on the Morini looks like it could work for me. Ron

The Xscape is like a Versys with a bit of attention to detail and nicer design.

It has navigation for all countries and works amazing and on sale here in the US for $6999

1st time heard of the brand, looks pretty nice

I would get a japonese brand instead but that scrambler looking version sure looks nice

Price is to high for them may as well go for the MT07 with a bit more power.

I’d try one to see how it would respond in twisties involving steep grades….much torque needed for these but tons of fun….

I wish brands like this would sell in the US. :/

I’m going to be interested to see what these are priced like here in New Zealand. The X-Cape is about $13,990NZ, so I’d be looking for around $10-12 to keep this bike competitive. It will certainly be on my list to try against the new Bennelli Leocino 800…

its good to see growing choice of real world, fun road bikes at affordable prices. My only concern is with more obscure brands is reliability and build quality.

Yes, yes, yes. Liking the look of the two new bikes… but spares availability, servicing & dealer network are the actual story of bike ownership. Believe me I know #royalenfieldowner

Nice

Sold on me ! Road version please in White 😎great video thanks 🙏🏻

Looks are nice and I don't mind the lower power but the heavy weight puts this bike out of consideration.

The Scrambler version is a 🍑 Peach 🥰. Love the colors and the modest Tech. Yet the components are very good quality. I'd love to try one, but Stateside access is not very likely. Yet🤷‍♂️,, if ever.

Looks good! But....too heavy. And if something goes wrong? Dealer network? So which one? MT07? No, been there. The Trident? Hmm... Probably the SV650!

Still go for the Triumph!

Nice but I would be more honda cb650r or cb500x. But just ordered the scram 411 🤔😁😬

I've not seen these for sale in Australia which is a shame.

They do look nice but I would go for the Triumph or a CB500X.

The STR is a good looking bike, pity about the front wheel.

Great video! I like both bikes and would consider them. The adventure bikes looks retro and reminds me of how bikes use to look and so I am drawn to that. Will they come to the US? and what does 6 1/2 mean on the side of the bike?

What's the helmet? I keep seeing it in videos but I can't find it on Revzilla I don't think. UK only?

Un Looking forward to watch your test drive to these little beauties

Looks great... I'd rather buy a nearly new Z650RS though.....

Like the look of the scrambler, 60bhp should be enough.

Two great looking bikes but unfortunately the residuals are going to sink quicker than the Titantic. The new Hornet is only 7K !

que vuelva la morini excalibur para los choperos

They are pretty, not available in Poland :(

Motorcycles are beautiful 😍 But I don't understand why the 18 inch front wheel. Why not 17? Shouldn't it turn faster with smaller front wheel?

Nice. The SCR would be a bike people who have bad hips can actually swing a leg over. Trouble is, it would be up against the Z650 for my money, and neither do anything much more performance wise than a 30 year old Honda Revere, if a few extra miles per gallon.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

where is this made, is a genuine italian Morini or somebody bought the brand name

I am in the US we w will not see 90% of the great bikes you review from the UK and i am jealous

Have you seen bikes from CFmoto ?

same like Leoncino 800/Leoncino 800 T

Nice bikes but why are they so heavy? It seems that most Chinese (and Indian) made bikes are 30kg heavier than their nearest rivals. It's not due to the engine, as that is a Kawasaki lump in this case

These bikes may look well and I have ridden an x cape, rides really nice but doesn't excite you. It all boils down to the full experience will dealer networks be able to meet demand with servicing warranty claims , parts supply ,this is where the Chinese brands are getting let down. Once all this improves then they may actually start to make an impact on the market.

The bike has been designed and studied in Italy, it is not a re named chinese bike. It use an 18incs front weel becouse italian streets are far from be perfect and, in everyday use is more comfortable than a 17inchs.

I'm sure the free people of Taiwan and other Asian Pacific people will appreciate supporting Chinese government with your dollars, pounds, yen, and Euros.

Don't wanna Italian bike built in China, Italy is good enuf....

shame, the closest competitor cf moto 700 heritage ,test one bob

They are priced too close to Triumph and Yamaha to poach buyers from those. They are, however, very competitive against Royal Enfield and have superior spec and performance.

SV650/X is much better plus it has a fantastic engine!

An Italian cross Chinese bike does not invoke feelings of quality for me. Hope I'm wrong cos these bikes look cool.

That colour is not "khaki green". It's "olive drab". Sorry, on military matters I am the often-corrected son of a retired Regimental Sergeant-Major, and sometimes reflexively correct others.

Price delta is not attractive enough, definitely MT07 over this, or Trident. Would have been good at 5,999 and 6,299

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍😍

Nice bike but the engine is too underwhelming. I’d pay the extra $$$ for a MT07 with a 270 deg crank, less weight and 74hp of performance.

ER-5 derived engine?……. ER-6 possibly.

Just like Benelli, Cagiva should not have sold Moto Morini to the Chinese but I suppose they were going bust at the time. These bikes wear the badge but they are not Morini's or Benelli's to me a Morini is a 5 1/2 or 3 1/2 v twin and a Benelli anything from the Tre to the Sei or for me the 900 Tornado. These Chinese bikes can be bought with a variety of names stuck on the tank, you can stick an MV badge on a turd but it's still a turd.

Poor residuals and lack of dealers will probably mean it won’t sell well

I am TRIUMPH-Fan. I bought one of the first new Tridents in Germany in 1991 and i liked it, had tears in my eyes wenn i selled it years later. An i would also like the new Trident from 2022 but the Morini is so much better designed! An the better design has much to do with the "big" 18`` Frontwheel. 17`` Frontwheels may be "sporty an quick" (3:33) but they are ugly. A motorbike has to look fine an so small 17´´ wheels destroy good Designs. You do not believe? Have a look on the Triumph-Bikes from 1991: They all had 18`` Backwheels. Well looking in my opinion. Later, in 1993 the factory gave them 17``Backwheels in three spoke Design. Bad and ugly since 1993 in my opinion. My unheard whish to TRIUMPH: Before I die i would like to buy a T120 Bonneville or a Speed Twin with 18`` Backwheel an 19`` Frontwheel. No, that ist not to big. Al Bigbikes of the 1970ties had these sizes. Price does´nt matter! An i am not interest in "Sporty an quick" Wheelsizes because i am me myself "Sporty an quick". That matters nearly the 60. birthday. (Feeling like 29)

The odd 18" on the naked it's totally out of place. No real point on doing that. They don't even share the same type of wheel construction so not a money saver decision either for M.Morini.

These asian bikes should be way cheaper to be competitive. Same goes for royal enfield

You lost me at China 👋🏼

These have the old cfmoto 650 on them. The same engine that is on the mt650 and nk650. CFMOTO has a better engine out with it's 693cc parallel twin, producing 74HP on it's new clx700. Also a scrambler and a sport, also a looker, cheaper and lighter (about 200kg wet) that the moto morini... I guess you are paying more for the badge?

Chinese bikes devalue very quickly. So don't make too much economic sense, in the long run.

Look great but I detest these Chinese 'badge engineered' bikes as a matter of principle . Italian decals everywhere its the motorcycling equivalent of a fake Rolex .

Chinese, pass

The CFMoto CL-X looks miles better.

The biggest problem with these Chinese rebranded bikes for me is that they're relying too much on the badge names in order to sell their units. Very much different with how Royal Enfield and Triumph regained their glory. Instead of relying on their colorful history, they made actual GOOD bikes that people want to ride. I hope these new manufacturers from China would understand this idea. We don't like Chinese bikes not because of "made in China" stigma, but simply because they aren't just good.

Chinese bikes. I will pass, no need to know price or details. Don't get me wrong, Chinese has great design, but their quality control is like 3rd world country. They cut corner, substitute untested parts here and there. More headache than it is worth.

Who's gonna pay seven grand for this?

Too expensive,nice looks,underpowered though.

So Morini n Benelli are same. Chinese only using Italian name but nothing is Italian in these bikes. Chinese only buy 125-250cc crap cheap bikes. I havnt seen any big bike in China. Thats why Benelli sell their bikes in other countries including India.

aye that's chinesium alright, it's a pass from me

This another one of those Chinese engines that reverse engineered decades old Japanese engines? It's better to steer clear of such things.

Chinese huh. Yeah not getting that. That's a red flag. Poor servicing and questionable parts. Also I saw oil test in fortnine's channel and Chinese engines were really really bad.

No thanks on Chinese bikes.

Saving on research and development...????? They stole Kawasaki’s work.

CFMOTO Clones

I am so tired of added unsprung weight for no reason. Who started this ridiculous trend. Certainly no engineer. Kill this stupid trend now

That chinese engine sounds like a piece of s$#%&! Morini can source engines elsewhere?
