A 47bhp version is coming for A2 licence-holders, too. The delivery is pretty linear with a slight surge at 7000rpm. The parallel twin is torquey, free-revving and smooth, thanks to the single gear-driven counter balancer and hefty weights in the ends of the handlebars there’s no vibration at any revs, even when the needle heads towards the 10,500rpm rev limiter. There’s no trace of an abrupt pick-up from a closed throttle, just a smooth, liquid response which adds to the sense of controllability, and the X-Cape’s flawless gearshift and light clutch action make riding in traffic or off-road a breeze. The X-Cape pulls strongly from 2000rpm in sixth gear with smooth fuelling and zero transmission snatch. It's also made by Morini's Chinese neighbours CFMoto and acts as a stressed member in a robust-looking tubular steel frame. Though the Euro5-friendly 649cc, 59bhp parallel-twin engine needs to be revved for brisk progress, there’s a decent spread of torque. These work fairly well, but with so much weight to haul up, a bit of forward planning is advisable. There’s a similar caliper biting the 260mm rear. Wheelbase is a rangy 1470mm.Ĭlaimed wet weight is 232kg with the 18-litre tank at 90% capacity, which is pretty substantial compared to a full-tank Yamaha Ténéré 700 (205kg) or new Aprilia Tuareg 660 (204kg).Įlsewhere, the Bosch ABS can be switched off for trail riding and the Chinese-made 298mm steel front discs are gripped by twin-piston Brembo calipers. There’s 135mm of movement at the rear with the X-Cape’s aluminium swingarm working a direct-action KYB monoshock that’s adjustable for preload and rebound damping.

Spec-wise, Marzocchi 50mm forks are fully adjustable, have 160mm of wheel travel and are set at a 25.5° rake, with a generous 123mm of trail. Versatile, fun and at the same time multifaceted, a trusted companion for both daily movement and day trips, it is able to distinguish itself for its riding simplicity and frame rigour typical of the Moto Morini brand and motorcycles. Though the 845mm seat height may be a little tall for some shorter riders, it’s perfect for my 5ft 10in and getting both of your feet flat on the ground at a standstill is no problem at all. One of the flaws BMW addressed on the Mk II 650 Xcountry (right) was an overlight alloy rear subframe. SEIEMMEZZO is more than a motorcycle, it represents a real and proper family within the Moto Morini world. The Morini is comfortable too, with adequate (if not exactly spacious) room for a passenger. It will appeal to dirt-riding novices or those wanting to explore gravel trails or farm tracks. It’s a genuine go-anywhere motorcycle and can tackle light off-road work without any difficulty. Alle 4 giapponesi (Honda NC 750 X, Kawasaki Versys 650, Suzuki V-Strom 650 e Yamaha Tracer 7) si contrappone la sola britannica, la Triumph.

This means the weight isn’t really an issue, even on gravel tracks or light trails. Even with the taller of the two seat options (845mm or 820mm) you feel yourself nestling into the bike in a way that makes you feel at one with it, and it’s very well balanced. So all up the steel subframe has added an extra three kilos bringing the bike’s weight up to 161.5kg dry.Where the Moto Morini X-Cape immediately stands out is when you climb aboard. That should slip back in later if I loosen the tank mounts. With more than a decade of motorcycle testing. Photos by Gary Walton, Leviathan, and the author. The only thing I missed was spotting the rubber bung which dropped out from between the tank and diagonal frame rail below the filler cap. The 650 ADVentura is one of seven models in the 2022 lineup of CFMOTO motorcycles. Everything goes back on just like it came off. Away it comes and the tank stays in place. Then just tug the frame backwards (right). After about an hour you’re at the point where you can undo the four (pre sprayed) subframe bolts and the two rear fuel tank bolts.

Plus now I know the minor blunders I made during reassembly, next time I could do the whole swap in two hours with just three hex keys, a 10mm ring for the silencer and the iPod on shuffle. Knowing how it can get when you start working on old bikes in the street, I was all set for two days of teeth gnashing and knuckle skinning.Īs it was, the job was completed well before lunchtime which left me so stunned I had to take the rest of the day off.
