Moto Morini X-Cape 650 Entering Production (Bike Reports) (News)

The Italian company Moto Morini, now under Chinese ownership, displayed a prototype of the X-Cape 650 Adventure model two years ago.

The bike now appears ready for production with specifications and European pricing announced.

The 649cc twin will compete with the likes of Suzuki’s V-Strom 650, but at a much reduced price. The base model V-Strom 650 is priced at € 8,840, while the X-Cape 650 will be priced at an introductory offer of € 7,290.

The X-Cape 650 will come with a 50mm adjustable Marzocchi fork, as well as an adjustable KYB shock. Braking is by Brembo, with Bosch ABS. A modern, 7″ TFT display is standard. The engine is rated at 60 horsepower.
