New Moto Morini's ... incl. 3 1/2

<< < (8/8)

SmithSwede:
I am really liking this 3 1/2.   Conventional styling, decent size gas tank, flat seat.  No gee gaws. 

I put 50,000 miles on a Kawasaki 250 Ninja and had a total blast.  A light weight bike with great handling and about 30 horsepower is a fun bike.  Maybe fun in a different way than a bigger more powerful bike, but still great fun. 

I’m looking forward to seeing one in person.

As much as you might want to avoid it, it is impossible not to support the Chinese Government in our society these days.  Clothing and most small electronics are unavoidable.  However, and this is just my opinion, when I have a choice, I refuse, period the end.  I know the arguments about 1/2 of Harley Davidson is sourced from China these days and I am sure some of the parts on our beloved MGs are too.  I can accept that.  But, I will quit riding if my only choices for finished motorcycles were to come from China.  Fortunately, our market is saturated with nice used bikes if it were ever to come to that.  Their government (not individual people who I am sure are great) are our enemy.
Rant over, flame suit on (if this post survives the mods).

Pretty much my take on things, too.

Although I am intrigued by the CFMOTO 800 cc bike.

Rebranded Chinese-made stuff:  somehow seems disingenuous to me.   YMMV

I took a look at Morini USA.  Not impressed.  The models have liq cooled 650cc parallel twin engines, with weights between 448 to 514 lbs. 

The Guzzi V7 does it better. 

The Euro Morini site does show a 3 1/2  with a V- twin, but no specs.  The model is "coming soon."
