Is This the Best Budget ADV Bike out NOW? | MOTO MORINI X-CAPE 700

We spent a day with the Moto Morini X-Cape 700 and it did not disappoint. We unfortunately could not take this bike off-road, as this was not a demo but a brand-new for-sale motorcycle. We covered as much as we could, but we’re sure we missed a few features—so drop a comment below if you spot something we overlooked. Also, let us know your thoughts on this bike and Moto Morini’s comeback in general. This mid-size adventure motorcycle delivers serious value at just $8,299, putting it in direct competition with bikes like the Honda Africa Twin, Yamaha Tenere 700, and Kawasaki Versys 650, while offering true Italian style and surprising build quality. 00:00 Intro 00:22 Introducing the 2026 X-cape 700 00:31 First Version the 650 01:04 AIM EXPO Throwback 01:16 Overview 02:26 SPECS 02:46 TOP SPEED TESTED 03:22 MORE SPECS 04:50 HOWS IT RIDE? 05:03 FATHER X Reports his thoughts 07:15 SLEEPY’S Turn 09:39 Continued Overview 14:04 3 Year Warentee 14:20 Steel Braided Brake Lines! 14:52 How’s it Pass? 15:45 FULL FEATURE Run Down 17:02 Outro 17:11 Merica’ Moto Morini X-Cape 700 – Key Specs & Features Engine: 693 cc liquid-cooled parallel twin Power: ~70 hp @ 8,500 rpm Torque: ~68 Nm @ 6,500 rpm Transmission: 6-speed with slipper clutch Top Speed: ~115 mph (claimed) Weight: ~213 kg dry (about 470 lbs wet) Suspension: Front: 50 mm fully adjustable Marzocchi USD forks Rear: KYB fully adjustable monoshock Brakes: Dual 298 mm front discs with Brembo calipers and Bosch ABS (switchable) Wheels & Tires: 19-inch front / 17-inch rear spoked tubeless wheels Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires Fuel Capacity: 18 liters (~4.8 gal) Electronics & Tech: 7-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity Integrated onboard dash cam with automatic emergency recording Back-lit handlebar controls Warranty: 3-year unlimited-mileage factory warranty If you enjoyed this Moto Morini X-Cape 700 review, smash that Like button, Subscribe to Motostories and More, and turn on the bell 🔔 so you don’t miss our next motorcycle reviews, ride & chat episodes, and adventure bike comparisons!
