I have ridden one yesterday. It rides very well. No complains about the weight. The engine is build under license by Kawasaki, its a versys 650 engine. The bike is quick enough leaving bikes like the Benelli TRK 502, Royal Enfield 650 etc behind it. If you step up a Tenere 700 its a diffirent story. Doing offroad very well. Its a good all around bike for everyday use like commuting and doing longer trips etc. It has a 18 liter tank combined with economical fuel consumption and not expensive to buy. The only thing Chinese about it is the engine (and Japanese of origin) the rest is from somewhere else. The bike gives a solid feeling. Really nothing wrong about it. The only thing I am wondering now is how the bike behaves on the long run with say 50 or 60.000 km on the clock. Oh yeah, you get 3 years warranty on the bike with unlimited mileage.
"economical fuel consumption" its like copy paste all over internet no one actualy says exact number of mpg

As a classic Moto Morini owner for 22 years there have been highs and low with the ownership of the company,today 27 th March I saw and sat on one at the Ardingly jumble and bike show and I'm happy to say the Quality is very good,it felt comfortable and the riding position is good too with the mass of the tank dash and screen offering good wind protection,I like the sound of it in your video almost V twin which Morini are famous for,I think the new owners have done a very good job.
This bike is nice-looking for sure.
My compliments for the overall design.
Good-looking from the front. Decent performance for a 650, surely? The gold-wheel model looks nice.
Really good review.
Good review ! Decided to try one ! Bought it ! 👍🏻
What do/did you think of it?
Really enjoy your channel. You had really interesting real world brands in your shop, such a shame you guys are not exposing us to all these new great value bikes anymore, but fingers x for more reviews..👍
Been keeping my eye on this bike for a while. All the reviews I've read and Italian road tests I have watched without understanding say the same as you. Definitely more interested in the grey with cast wheels thanks to your review. Not a fan of the look of steel boxes so be fun to find options to suit.
That's one nice bike M. LOVING IT VERY MUCH. Great vid as usual thanks. 👍
Saw this at the ABR festival and fell in love!
This with the gold rims 👌❤️
Bike looks great and fantastic review. For that money be nice to see crash bars and luggage. 👍🏻
Dealers though might be few and far between! Might try and film some Zontes 350's at some point.
Nice bike and review.
Got a 350 G1 arriving soon
@@motorsforthemasses Yeah there was one down at a garage near me. Think is the press bike.
Gk looks very interesting. To be honest after G1 am leaning towards the Enf Classic 350...
Also the Adv Zontes well worth a look. Your review of the G1 was part of the reason own one and its been brill to learn on!
(Sips petrol).
This bike looks great, and could suit a lot of people very well. However, my only concern is the spares availability in the future...
Are parts going to be difficult to get or even discontinued?
I guess only time will tell.
Great review, keep up the good work.
Nice one
Credible review
Everytime i watched your video, i've bean learning a bit about the history of your content is.
Love the way you explaine and review in details..
God bless and more power
Very very very beautiful bike!!! Will you recommand this beauty as a first motorcycle to a beginner!?? Thinking about cb500x or the Vstrom 650xt, but this one is a such a nice one for a good price!!! Did you try duo!? Hello from Serbia 🇷🇸✌️
I have a gray one coming this week can’t wait was hard choosing the color all look great
Hey im new to your channel
Really loved your review, the history bit of the brand very insightful and informative
😊👍🏻
Your review getting better and better!!!
Detailed discription anything I need to know is been said .
Drone++++
Thank you very much.
@@motorsforthemasses your very welcome!!!
Great looking bike. You say the seat is 820mm tall, and the official page lists 820/845 so is it adjustable? You also say it's tall, did you have any issues walking it around? I used to have a Versys 650 that felt like it was going to fall over all the time when getting it in the garage as it was quite top heavy.
No, 845 is the pillion height.
@@motorsforthemasses ah of course. MCN had it listed as the main height so it suggested an adjustable seat. Thanks for clearing that up
What an excellent review and a nice looking bike, I'd love to know how well it handles off road, nothing serious but it does seem the perfect size country laning.
Please see my latest video....
Having owned cf650 2012 then 2018 versys 650...all ok forget the chinese connection most are ok etc . ..my only gripe is branding .....moto guzzi harley d... and royal enfield are true continous production earning their branding..
This MM I like a lot🇮🇹✅
Maybe the gearing would benefit from a different sprocket, looks a little my F700GS. Nice review.
Thanks for great review
Did you face any heating issue while riding the bike at low speed ?
I am between trk502x and x cape 650 !!!! Can you tell me your opinion please???
Personally, TRK is too heavy for a 500. Comfortable but underpowered.
Very nice
Hi.
Curious about the service network of MORINI. Which are the countries it's more established?
I am really trying to understand this as of I plan of travelling.
Hi, they are more established in Netherlands and Belgium; and Germany, more so than the UK at the moment.
@@motorsforthemasses Thank you very much guys 🙏
Bring back the Excalibur!😉
Great looking bike 🏍, I’m not even sure if Australia 🇦🇺 has an importer. “ our weather is starting to get cold 🥶 “ went for a ride today when I left home it was only 10 degrees and only got up to 19 max .
Show off! lol You and your damn mild weather posing as coldness...how very dare you lol
@@motorsforthemasses 😂😂😂, For is that’s Cold 🥶, BUT when we hit winter ❄️ we do have cold mornings that can get down to 0 and top day temp of only 10 , average winter weather were I live is around say 5-15 , but we’re my daughter lives is 12-25 . That Cairns N- Queensland were I go every winter for 2 weeks and ride .
Went to look at benelli 502 and the dealer had these in too, I couldn't get a test ride on either but will go back. For the difference in money would you say the morini is worth the extra?
When I saw the thumb nail I thought it was the new Honda Transalp.🕳️💔💔
A Honda would never look this stylish!
Did you say "tubeless spoked wheels?" And what is the lower leg protection like? Superb video !
Yes, tubeless spoked; and the protection is excellent
Nice review! But how can it be heavier than my 2010 Corsaro Veloce! Lead engine?
Nice one Mark :-)
Moto Morini X-Cape wet weight is not 213KG ,
It's 232 KG! Same as an Honda Africa Twin.
No mention of suspension travel? Given it's a 50/50 on & off road bike?
I didn't say the wet weight was 213. I said the weight was 213 so probably around 220 with some fluids in.
@@motorsforthemasses It's 232 KG with fluids and fuel.
Who cares ? The DR 650 and the DR Big (most hardcore and best Enduro bikes ever seen on this planet) were the same weight, had less HP and outperformed everything in their class
@@alexanderreul3597 Evidently you care by writing a comment, who cares?
Why u watching his review, u bloody cowboy, bloody cowboy s!!!!!!!!
Need this bike in the States!
Pedestrian Incident: The car in front of you was indicating Right, you are still indicating Right as the car blocks the pedestrian's view of you so with you still being in the right hand lane of the roundabout the pedestrian possible judged you had no intention of exiting the roundabout across their path. Take care out there 👍
I am between this and the voge 650 dsx. Any thoughts?
Haven't tried the Voge yet but looking at it at the NEC, it looks on par with the CF Moto
Do you know what the service intervals are for this motorcycle?
600mile first service then....hang on, will confirm in the morning, can't remember if 3k or 5k....
What are the service intervals ?
Looks amazing but the er650 clone motor is a bit meh , if Suzuki made a vstrom 650 that looked like this it'd sell well.
True, but the engine is almost as good as the Vstrom when it gets going...its mainly just the idle that sounds a bit crap. Most people don't care that much with this kind of bike
how does it compare to the Voge 500 dsx
Nice bike. what are the lights like say at night too.
Demo on its way....I'll let you know.
@@motorsforthemasses ok cool thanks
does it have cruise control?
The 213kg is the dry weight. So what is the wet weight?
about 10kg more
@@motorsforthemasses I suspect dry weight excludes oil and coolant. A quick Google and another site claimed 232kg wet, getting a bit fat
Check how much fuel the tank holds and add that to the dry weight if the bike. So if the tank hold 18ltrs you have about 18kg more to add.
@@ripmax333 I think fuel is 740g/L (ish)
@@mickleblade i don’t remember by heart, bu you could be right. But if this one has an 18ltr tank there are another 10kg for sure to add the dry weight. Honesty I don’t know why these days they put the dry weight in their specs instead of the Wet weight. After all you need fuel to ride the bike.
Should have been called the "6 1/2" (showing my age here).
The 6 1/2 will be along later this year.
How tall is this dude?
5ft 10 AND A HALF! lol
We need more lightweight scramblers not heavy, wide fake adventures
Ever used one? 🤨 The "wide fake adventures", as you call them, are actually able to do some light off-road, commute, tour, are fairly robust, carry lugage, and a pillion, while giving fairly good wind/weather protection. They're the total package when it comes to "do-it-all-bikes", and that's why they are so popular ( this X-Cape 650 will also likely be).
"Lightweight scramblers", while also fairly capable on light off-road and commuting, are more like Cafe-Racers, in that today they are intended as poser-machines.
geeee....how many times did u say "easy" and/or "simple"?
Didn’t notice, please tell us, how many?
👍👍👍
"She`s" a looker ...
I think you've got lazy riding your Triumph 1200? A 650 has to be rev'd to make progress? Rolling on at 3k revs will never be like your 12? But change down 2 gears spin the motor, has got to be more fun than rolling on and off on a big bike imo.
Oh! Forgot to say! Great review! Very thorough and great delivery. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, you may be very correct.
The graphics on it let it down. Look cheap and nasty. Really bad design. Spoils the whole look of the bike
I think they are supposed to be hammered effect decals but I can't be certain.
