Riding two-up it ’ s easy to do a ten-hour day on the X-Cape covering more than 700 kilometres . The seat is a two-piece construction that has a middle density for comfort and support for both rider and passenger . It ’ s a good compromise that comes in two seat heights : 820mm or 845mm .
Moto Morini offer a number of accessories that will complement the X-Cape including paniers and cases developed by SW-Motech , well made they provide great protection for the riders travelling gear . The windshield also comes as a smoke tinted option and there ’ s plenty of protection for the bike itself . Hand guards , aluminium sump guard , and tubular bike and engine protection .
Over eight days and 3,500 kilometres we found the Moto Morini X-Cape to be a well-equipped , capable bike that comes in at the lower end of the price range and shouldn ’ t be a bike that is discounted . Moto Morini could have a bike that saves the brand and changes the perception of many adventurous motorcycle traveller .
