Back in late December, we caught wind that Moto Morini was slotting their new adventure machine – the X-Cape – for America’s markets; today, the brand’s dream comes true (and we get a front-row look at what they priced this guy).
Coverage from ADVPulse states that the Moto Morini X-Cape has an official MSRP of $8,299 USD – less than anticipated, placing the Trivolzio-based bike below Kawasaki’s Versys 650 (and way below the next-up competitor, Yamaha’s Ténéré 700).
Riders will get to choose from color schemes labelled Red Passion, Smoky Anthracite and Carrara White, with the following listed in terms of specs:
