The 350cc V-twin is a blast from the past, since the first time I heard of Moto Morini was with the 3 1/2 in the 1970s. I tell ya, I was hoping to dislike the bikes since they are now Chinese made, but those Italian designs are drawing me toward the "dark side".
@pcthayer yeah they're good looking bikes but I wouldn't ride a Chinese bike they're just too unreliable and made with cheap parts, despite what the CF Moto fanboys say. It's Japanese or nothing with me. And I just like a bike with a little bigger displacement and more power than a 350cc with 36 hp and 25nm or torque or whatever it was. I'm 6'3 240lbs too so I've got a little more @$$ to haul around than most but still. I've got a Z400 now and it's amazing for my first bike and a perfect city bike but I'm definitely going to upgrade to at least a 650cc or 700cc this spring, either an XSR700 or a Z650RS, hell maybe even a big boy bike like the Katana if I can get a good deal for one, I've always thought it's such a cool bike even the old school Katanas were awesome.
@@1000yeardragon I agree with you re: Chinese bikes (even if realiable I wouldn't buy one, just the thought of sending additional money over there, since we send enough over there already ). I am at the other end of the spectrum than you, since I've been riding for 50 years (1974 Kawa KZ400 was my first new bike), so I am looking for a smaller lighter bike than my Vulcan 900, and was thinking the Z650RS as well or even a Suzuki SV650.
Wow, they are bringing some stylish bikes.
I like the looks of the 350, and the 750 sport.
Good looking bikes but the first two are too small displacement and underpowered.

@pcthayer yeah the SV650 is a solid bike, can't really go wrong with that one or the Z650RS
