Chinese-owned Italian motorcycle brand Moto Morini is one we’ve talked about on multiple occasions. Since the brand’s rebirth under Chinese ownership, it has rolled out quite a number of new models in the market, particularly in Europe and Asia. The X-Cape 650 is arguably its most popular model, slotting itself well within the middleweight adventure bike segment. To make it even better, Moto Morini has released a Black Ebony edition of the adventure-tourer.
Speaking of the middleweight ADV segment, it’s currently dominated by the likes of the Yamaha Tenere 700, Aprilia Tuareg 660, and KTM 890 Adventure. Not wanting to be left behind, Moto Morini’s X-Cape 650 employs a respectable if not slightly dated architecture. It’s powered by a 650cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine with a 180-degree crankshaft. Pumping out 60 horsepower, it’s quite a bit of ponies down versus its rivals.
