It's no beauty then

830mm seat height (but possibility of 815). No details on weight. As they say on Dragon's Den - "I'm out!"

No thank you.

Morini needs to encourage newer, younger owners. Looks like a good start to me.

Maybe us oldies need to remove our rose tinted testicles?

Ah. Now this looks a bit better. might even get my feet on the ground!

Looks a bit 1200ish

I think we all want a small v twin with 50bhp, painted red and black with gold wheels...

The first one looks ok to me. A lot like a CB500X or an NC750 and they sell pretty well.

The styling doesn't put me off. I don't care what colour it is, so long as it is under 170Kgs and has a sensible seat height. I'm not even fixated on a V twin. A 600 single would do, so long as it was a Lambertini design.

Market success will depend on the price. If it's as cheap as an Enfield Himalayan they might sell a few.

Lambertini design won't happen. We need to move along from there. As for weight, not sure where we are. Tried a KTM 390? 154kg wet, 800mm seat height, 165kph top end. Stops, handles and has an electric foot. Is this the sort of thing Morini should make? Yours for £4,750.00. Also needs a 125 to attract the youngsters, although bikes will be banned soon. Auto drive cars and governments who don't like people being individual will see us off.

So far I've only sat on a KTM 390. I may replace the ER6n with one in the spring.

The 6.5 doesn't look too bad on video

Brown leather pouch on 1200 I think we can forget..............

Pass the sick bag, Alice... I'll stick with what I've got, I think.

A bit more info in English. Except the author doesn't seem to know the difference between a V twin and a parallel twin!

Possibly 7000 Euros according to one of the Youtube videos . More than a Kawasaki Z650!

Allegedly designed and built in Italy. The motor does look like the CFMoto, an engine that has been thrashed around the IoM in Super-duper Twins. I notice CFMoto now offer a 700!

Under €8k, better get saving, it looks really nice.
