New Moto Morini 6 1/2 Comes in Street and Scrambler Versions (Bike Reports) (News)

Moto Morini is on a comeback, and has now introduced two new 649cc parallel-twin powered models, the Seiemmezzo STR and SCR.

“Seiemmezzo” in Italian means 6 1/2.

Details are in the press release below, but the new 6 1/2 models share the same engine tune and a claimed 61 horsepower. Featuring adjustable forks and shock, other nice kit includes Brembo brakes along with Bosch fuel injection and ABS. Both models have an 18″ front wheel and 17″ rear, with the SCR (the Scrambler model) getting more dirt-capable rubber than the STR (Street).

Here is the press release:

Moto Morini launches on the market the SEIEMMEZZO family, the eagerly awaited line of versatile and reliable medium road bikes “Trivolzio” branded. Accessible for purchase from September, it will be available in two versions, the STR (Street), for lovers of the purest naked motorcycles, and the SCR (Scrambler), intended for those who want the original and elegant design during their outings as well.

Two similar models but very different in character, united by the same name, SEIEMMEZZO – a unique and welcoming family, meant for the purest motorcyclists, who want a fun and road-worthy vehicle, which can accompany them on daily transfers and on two-wheeled tours.

Characterized by an exclusive and classic design, the SEIEMMEZZO stand out from the typical shapes of this segment with personality, thanks to a simple and harmonious look that embraces the tastes of a decidedly transversal audience. Angular lines, therefore, leave room for a clean and ageless design, maintaining a precise, genuine and dynamic driving style.

The STR, a real naked, is characterized by the driving position typical of the segment, while keeping a harmonious appearance and easy-to-manage chassis measurement – such as the 16-liter tank and a comfortable position for both the driver and the passenger.

The SCR, with a more adventurous character, is a fashionable street bike, designed for lovers of vintage lines. Marked by a high fender, fairing, saddle in leather colour and golden fork, it decisively stands out.

The tank, also of 16-liters, shows it as an outspoken and authentic scrambler, guaranteeing high autonomy.

From a technical point of view, some now distinctive elements of Moto Morini, return in both motorcycle, such as the Brembo braking system – a guarantee of safety – and the Pirelli tires, essential for enjoying any type of route.

The frame is, as always, a sturdy steel structure, supporting the aluminium swingarm.

The rims – 18 inches in the front and 17 in the rear – are tubeless in both cases, with different aesthetics and technology for the two versions: the SCR is equipped with a resistant spoke structure, the STR offers a lightened version in aluminium alloy. The 18 ” front wheel and the adjustable fork, 43 mm in diameter, were chosen to ensure maximum road holding, making the bikes suitable for both city roughness and mountain passes. Uneven paths can be faced with complete peace of mind. The suspension compartment, entirely Kayaba branded, is widely adjustable.

The well-proportioned and comfortable saddle, just 810 mm from the ground, along with the design of the tank, offers perfect ergonomics for riders of all sizes and for the passenger as well. Particularly appreciable is the position of the handlebar, wide and not too close to the rider’s torso for the SCR, while for the STR it guarantees a sportier set-up.

The 5” TFT colour screen, managed by backlit handlebar controls, gives access to a complete and clear information overview even in poor visibility conditions. The integrated Bluetooth communication system allows you to simultaneously manage a phone and two headset devices – all without taking your eyes off the road.

The standard equipment is completed by full LED headlights that identify the SEIEMMEZZO as a high-quality product in its features and attention to detail, both functional and aesthetic.

The bike is marketed in the standard version or limited to 35 kW (for A2 license holders), supplied by a highly reliable, easy and fun engine, but also low in consumption, perfect for all those who are looking for a partner, faithful and tireless.

Offering attractive and comfortable bikes, both for city outings and for weekends out of town, the SEIEMMEZZO range is destined to become the protagonist in the medium road segment.
