    Perfectly understandable that people don't want to buy from China in the current climate.
    I've now owned 3 bikes with this cfmoto (Kawasaki inspired - cough - copied) architecture and they are good bikes that have been around for a decade now. Parts are available and not expensive. Reliability on the post 2017 models has been great, my 2014 has had issues but fixed now.
    The only downside I see to all these new bikes with the 650 platform is they're raising prices, but so is every manufacturer.
    It's funny reading all the comments saying it's crap because it's Chinese - those days of only cheap products from that country are long finished
    Does anyone else here know that Swiss watches costing thousands of dollars produce the components in china - they just assemble in Switzerland..food for thought

    A few of us in the Algarve have Fantic Caballero's for the mountain roads and twisties, and we swear by them. Their only real competitor isn't the MT07, which we don't like, but the Ducati scrambler which is on another level. But pricey.

    It’s a great looking bike , a good comparison would have been cf moto cl-x heritage for a Chinese back to back , Japanese wise the new hornet or mt07 , the Chinese are going to take over the small and middle weight class , which will grow as high end bike are probably only selling because of PCP and buyers can have twice the bike they couldn’t afford !! 🏍🏍👍👍

    I do like the look of this bike and it will probably be ok for the price in terms of performance however, I think you should try and get your hands on a Benelli Leoncino Trail 800. Do a review of that and then do a comparison on both the Morini and the Benelli. I thought that would be a great comparison. Good review as always and maybe I'll see my suggestion in the future. All the best fella. 👍🏿👍🏿

    It would look better if it had a proper rear mudguard ,& proper right way up forks ,it looks like it’s been kicked up the arse . The top Chinese factories can turn out stuff to any quality & price point . Most motorcycles will now have at least some parts or engine & even whole motorcycles sourced from China , Firms like Honda Suzuki Yamaha ,Harley ,BMW ,Triumph ,Aprilia , & others use Chinese partnerships & others in the far east . One of my bikes is a Chinese built Suzuki & the build quality is as good as anything I see on modern Japanese bikes & equally as reliable. Just wish they would get out the habit of fitting bitza numberplate mudguards & tacky gold coloured upside down forks ,on otherwise potentially decent looking bikes .

    I am confused how much you expect from a bike, you have mentioned in videos that you dotn think 390, 400, 650 all have "questionable power" I think its odd to assume most bikes wouil;d have exceesive power. Like I specifically donht want a bike with 1000+ cc. I like the smaller bikes and anywhere from 350-750 cc are my sweet spot but it seems like people expect all bikes to get up and go like a 1000cc plus crotch rocket. You want bikes like this to be controllable at low speeds imo
