Motor morini X-cape 650

[Robbi]

These bikes seem to be getting some very good reviews and for the price range appear very good value for money,.

Has anyone got real world experience of one.?

( I see a 1200 version is due for release soon )

 

[theoneandonly]

Cracking video Arsey, thank you.
I've watched many YouTube videos and quite honestly not seen a bad one yet.
My local dealer has two in at the moment, a grey one for £7499 or a white and red one ( I like this colour scheme better)... Base bike is £7800 or fully loaded for £9000....seriously tempted so waiting for a test ride.

( The oly truman review video is complimentary as well.)

I remember the old 3 1/2 Morini... I think it was a v-twin back in the day, cracking little bike

The ER650 engine is a tried and tested reliable lump so there should be no issues.

it still needs electricity to work.....jus' saying.

Very true but what are you alluding to.??

A mate of mine has one. Red with gold wheels. It’ll be a year old at the end of October and he’s covered around 3500 miles.
No problems have surfaced and his local dealer seems keen with demo bikes etc. (Oakley Motorcycles in Maidstone).

I believe the gold wheels are a couple of hundred quid extra.

It certainly was a v twin (almost an 'L' twin, before someone jumps in!), as was the 500.

Still feel Morini missed the mark by not going for a 650 v strom/gladius motor, that said I looked at the X Cape and the fit and finish were impressive and it seems to get very good reviews. Be interesting to see what the 1200 turns out like in the flesh

This is allegedly a pre production 1200 and it is supposed to be 100% Italian built
