Morbidelli T1002VX: a machine like no other for less than €10,000
The Morbidelli T1002VX is not the flashiest nor the most powerful motorcycle on the market, but it has something that makes it stand out: its quality/price ratio. For less than 10,000 euros, you get a machine that could make many more expensive bikes blush. It is not the most original or the most brilliant, but for those looking for a reliable and well-equipped motorcycle without having to spend a fortune, it is an excellent option. Why should it be on your radar? I’ll tell you right now!
Morbidelli: a legend making its comeback
You surely know legendary Italian brands like Ducati, Aprilia, or MV Agusta. But here we are talking about Morbidelli, a legendary brand that has been acquired by the Chinese giant Keeway. What’s the goal? To revive this brand in the West with a motorcycle that combines Italian tradition with modernity, but remains much more affordable than the machines in its segment.
The Morbidelli T1002VX is the first large displacement motorcycle that Keeway offers us. And although its design might seem a bit “plastic” to you (yes, it is not the most refined), its quality/price ratio is amazing.
An engine that offers you sensations effortlessly
With its 80° V-twin engine, the T1002VX delivers 997 cc under the handlebars. Okay, it’s not a performance monster, but it offers 88 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and a torque of 89 Nm at 5,250 rpm. The idea is not to break speed records, but to provide you with good sensations, especially at low revs. What does that mean? You have power under control without having to go full throttle to enjoy it.
Moreover, an engine like this is more easy to maintain and ensure its reliability. It is less costly in the long run, and above all, you can rely on it over time. Pure speed is not what we are looking for here, but a simple, effective, and reliable motorcycle.
A style that divides opinions, but with spectacular equipment
In terms of style, let’s not kid ourselves, the T1002VX is not the sexiest in the group. It looks like a somewhat simple Multistrada, a bit “common”. But as soon as you look at its equipment, you start to understand why it is generating so much buzz.
It has it all: Adjustable KYB suspensions, J.Juan brakes combined with Bosch cornering ABS, and even heated grips (yes, that’s luxury in winter). Additionally, it has a 20-liter tank for long rides, a 7-inch color display, an adjustable windscreen, and even a USB port to charge your phone. And all this… as standard. Honestly, for a motorcycle under 10,000 euros, that’s pretty great, right?
A very well-equipped motorcycle for its price
The Morbidelli T1002VX is like the “low-cost motorcycle” with impressive features. You have a double cradle steel chassis, an aluminum skid plate, a heated seat, and a crash bar to protect you in case of an accident. And I’m sure we’ve left out other features!
It weighs only 265 kg, so you don’t feel like you’re maneuvering a tank. With its 19-inch wheel, it’s ideal for both leisurely rides and a bit of fun on winding roads. It’s a easy-to-handle motorcycle, even if you’re not an expert rider. You feel secure and can enjoy without complications.
A true bargain for under €10,000
And here’s where it gets interesting. For less than 10,000 euros, you have a super-equipped motorcycle, reliable, and at an unbeatable price. In Italy, it is clearly a great deal. But be careful, there is a chance we might lose some power with updates. We’ll have to see!
So, if you are looking for a reliable, well-equipped, and affordable motorcycle, the Morbidelli T1002VX definitely deserves to be on your list. For less than 10,000 euros, you have everything you need to enjoy yourself peacefully.
