Moto Morini SEIEMMEZZO 6 ½

At the heart of the Seiemmezzo 6 ½ is a 649cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine making 60.8PS and 54Nm. That makes it 5.2PS and 7Nm less than its direct rival, the Kawasaki Z650RS. Underpinnings on the bike include a 43mm USD fork coupled with a monoshock at the rear and 170mm of ground clearance. Meanwhile, braking is handled by twin 298mm discs up front and a 255mm single disc at the rear pinched by Brembo calipers at either end. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard and the rims are more road biased 18-inch front and 17-inch rear. In fact, the Scrambler brings a bit more off-road focus with its wire-spoke wheels instead of the alloys seen on the retro street model.

Both, the Seiemmezzo Street Retro and Scrambler feature all-LED lighting and a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, that's more sophisticated than the small LCD unit on the Kawasaki Z650RS. It also gets 15.5 litre fuel tank and an approachable seat height of 795mm.
