Very good review, keep them coming ⭐️

[@TwoWheelZeall]

Really good review. Thanks for posting

[@patrickkavanagh7253]

Love your reviews, very informative

Great vid. Also, my fantastic 2007 Fazer is originally from Cupar Bikes!!

[@bamboozle83]

It looks like a modern version of the Suzuki xf650 Freewind, a motorcycle I had many a mile on.

[@geecee4746]

That's a good looking bike👍👍👍

[@MultiOutdoorman]

There is an off road mode you can just switch rear abs off to get the back wheel hooking up. But thats all. Engine is kawasaki versys / er6 unit made under licence by CFMoto in china...

[@StreetBob107]

Beautiful bike

[@Fawkes2099]

Just passed and was in this store at the weekend sing about a test ride. Might see you about stirling 👍

Nice review I like it but for me its like why not just get a Himalayan as my first big bike. (think Nathan the Postman said the Morini is an adv bike but not for extreme use). P.s But then should you be looking then at say the tracers etc? I mean if you can ignore the adv factor. Ahh the Morini a good chunk cheaper than the Versys and V stroms and better adv bike. Def is a tempter! (My localish garage got a demo bike)

Great video and great bike. Italian built with cf moto influences so Chinese with Austrian links. Great spec for the money, I have an Africa twin but if I was doing solo only touring this would be enough bike I think it will give the big 4 some competition. That old Kwak er6 engine is basic but dependable should be easy to service yourself.

I was just watching your video on roundabouts and wanted to clear this up, if the first exit it straight on do you always signal left on approach? Thanks 👍👍

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey bud. Yep that's spot on. 🤜🤛

[@motofocus7927]

@@MotoEcosse Ok thanks for clearing it up for me!

[@MotoEcosse]

@@motofocus7927 Not a problem bud. 👍

[@PaulUrmston]

Man, this is giving me some vibes. Reminds me a lot of my old KLR 650. By no means the fastest, but it will get you there. For sure it's got a splash of the Norden 901 in the design aspect. What was the mpg like?

[@MotoEcosse]

Hi, Paul. If I remember correctly it averages around 55 mpg.

[@PaulUrmston]

@@MotoEcosse that's actually not too bad, for the weight I was expecting less. Think I might take one for a test run. Thanks

[@Ravan_Caw]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheDivingshoes]

It sounds like an Italian brand, but is It one of those Chinese bikes? U did mention it had Brembo brakes so kinda confused thanks for the review tho very informative. I bought a 21 MT07 last year and i love it but their is absolutely no luggage space on it. I’m quite keen on the new suzuki gsx 1000gt would love a wee blast on it to see what its like. Have. U rode it yet?

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey, Elliott. Yeah Moto Morini is Italian. I did a review on the gsxs 1000gt a few months back and I loved it. Loads of tech and plenty of room for luggage and a pillion, plus it definitely isn't lacking any power. Very, very fast bike. 🤜🤛

[@MauriceTarantulas]

@@MotoEcosse Italian designed, Chinese built. Heard someone said the engine was based on or pretty much a copy of the Kawasaki Versys engine👍

[@MotoEcosse]

@@MauriceTarantulas Yeah pretty much mate.

[@ItsBeenDanBefore]

If you did want to have a look at luggage for the 07, SW Motech do some reasonably priced stuff, like they have quick disconnect soft panniers that use easily removable rails. They've also got racks for if you want a top box or just somewhere to strap a bag to. I've got the Alu Rack for my SV650 and it works wonders
