    I think that this bike is probably the best looking machine in its class (even though at a glance it looks like it says X-Gape 😂).....great components too. To be honest i would seriously consider this machine if I was after a adventure bike, and to be fair a 650 is all that you need for everyday riding and commuting.
    Great review again Dan....love it ❤👍

      Precisely---the Chinese bikes are the best looking bikes on the market right now.
      The 450MT and the 800 IBEX adventure bikes made by CF Moto. And the Moto Morini and also the the Kove 800. They all look significantly better... Well they just look damn good, and better than most of the Japanese offerings.
      And it really all comes down to having 2 semi-large headlights. The body lines should be soft, flowing, and feminine. And the headlights should look like eyes. That's what makes beauty. If you have any doubt, just go look at all the cars from the 1990's, and all the motorcycles, and everything else from the 1990's.
      There were no sharp edges in the 1990's, bikes had sweeping curves, and beautiful dual headlights. Nearly every model of motorcycle from the year 2000 was the most beautiful model ever made, and since 2002, Japan and now KTM have steadily built uglier and uglier bikes.
      The Japanese and the European makers can't seem to figure out how to build a headlight, or a muffler. You have to start first with a beautiful headlight assembly, and a beautiful muffler. If those things aren't right, then no amount of polish will make the bike look good.

      @@andyleeson6048 Free update. Official dealerships can do it. MotoHub in Stoke-on-Trent are advertising they are taking appointments for it. One other dealer closer to me is saying it'll be available in a month or so with them. Think it's rolling out depending on the dealership.

    I bought my CB650R at the time you did. What a great bike! It was and still showroom condition when I sold it, with a tear in my eyes, the other week. The Morini, a company with a stellar name, back in the day, looks good. The dash, however, looks like an acre of wasted space. I managed to see there was a gear indicator there, bottom right corner of the TFT television. It doesn't scream quality at one in the same way the CB did, really. I've just got the Hornet, ordered in April! It's plug ugly. But, it's a Honda, so I'll trust it. I seem to remember you rather liked the bike too? That's good. Safe riding.

    100% agree with your assessment of this bike. I own a Superadveture, but rented an xcape for three weeks in France. I think it is the best in it’s class. Oh, and every time I stopped, people would ask about it and complement it’s appearance.

    Nice vid. It's a good looking bike, & appears well put together too. Great value as well. Although I guess there may be some question marks over the reliability & how exciting the engine is or isn't ti live with. And the tyres too seemingly lol.

    The nicest-looking bike in its class. Chinese heavy, lthough the weight didn't seem to bother you. If I was still a massive Dakar Rally-looking bike fan - I've had a fair few of them - I'd consider one of these.
    Enjoy yourself on the bike launch. Nick

    I finally realized that the UK uses the same speed measurement as USA. We are the only major countries in the world that use "MPH" as a measure for speed. I guess only 9% of the world uses "miles per hour." That's awesome. All this time, I was wondering why the English motorcycle channels kept saying "miles per hour" because it didn't make sense in a metric country. How does that work exactly? Is distance the only thing in the UK that isn't metric?

    Sad thing is: As there is no agent in the Nordic countries for Moto Morini the brand is only represented as 50CC engines like in my sons Fantic.
    They have representatives in all other European countries. Strange.
    Would love to try one out.
