MOTO MORINI X-CAPE 650 2023

The X-Cape 650 is designed and engineered by Moto Morini (founded in 1937), manufactured by Zhongneng Vehicle Group, with final assembly back in Italy.

This bike is designed as a adventure touring bike with moderate (but not extreme) off-road capability. The engine is based on the reliable Kawasaki ER6 parallel twin and produces the most torque around 7000 RPM. The frame geometry and suspension make this bike handle with poise, and it's really fun to ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway or Skyline Drive. The engine is no slouch at higher revs, and it's both fun and manageable. I've ridden the ADV portion of the Shenandoah 500 on this bike, and it performed great. On road, it's comfortable and quiet at interstate speeds with good wind protection. Off-road, it does best on forest roads and gravel, but I've made it through some rock gardens too.

This bike has the full factory luggage set, Barkbuster hand guards, engine guards, skid plate, radiator protector and kickstand pad, as well as the one-piece ADV seat.
