About Seiemmezzo

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo is a street bike available at a starting price of Rs. 6,99,000 in India. It is available in 2 variants and 6 colours with top variant price starting from Rs. 7,10,000. The Moto Morini Seiemmezzo is powered by 649cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 54.24 bhp and a torque of 54 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Moto Morini Seiemmezzo comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Seiemmezzo bike weighs 215 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 15.5 liters.

The Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6 ½ is available in two variants – Scrambler and Retro Street – and it competes in the middleweight segment of the Indian market.

The Scrambler version benefits from a beak-style front fender, fly-screen, taller handlebar, round rear-view mirrors, brown seat cover, and rubber pads on the fuel tank. The Retro Street, on the other hand, rides on alloy wheels and packs a relatively lower-set handlebar. Despite the differences in the wheel type, both variants ride on 18-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels. Styling cues common to both variants include a round headlight, step-up seat, and rear fender-mounted number plate.

The feature list on both models comprises a LED projector headlight, a five-inch TFT screen, and a dual-channel ABS. The Seiemmezzo 6 ½ range is powered by a 649cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, the motor is tuned to deliver 54.2bhp at 8,250rpm and a peak torque output of 54Nm at 7,000rpm.

The hardware on both motorcycles includes upside-down front forks and an adjustable rear mono-shock to handle the suspension tasks. The braking duties are handled by dual discs at the front and a single rotor at the back. The wheels on both variants are wrapped in 120/70-section front and 160/60-section tyres.

BikeWale's Take

The Seiemmezzo is a middle-weight scrambler from Moto Morini that offers good performance, comfort and also road presence. However, the brand isn’t much known in India due to which it isn’t advisable to go for this motorcycle.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Review

Apart from a complicated name, the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street is a fairly simple motorcycle. It does not have comprehensive electronics such as riding modes or a traction control system to fiddle with, while ABS exists because it’s now a norm. And all of this gives the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street a bit of old-school charm – something that experienced riders would appreciate.

Introduction

Why to buy it?

- Commendable build quality

- Good engine performance

- Premium hardware

Why to avoid it?

- Engine heat

- Fewer dealers and service centres

Apart from a complicated name, the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street is a fairly simple motorcycle. It does not have comprehensive electronics such as riding modes or traction control system to fiddle with, however, it gets ABS because it’s a norm nowadays. And all of this gives the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street a bit of old-school charm – something that experienced riders would appreciate.

But it isn’t a dinosaur either and the feature list includes full-LED lighting, Bluetooth connectivity, adjustable front forks, Brembo calipers, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Now, before we tell you what makes this motorcycle so likeable and its drawbacks, let’s discuss the first thing that you consider when buying a premium motorcycle – design.

Styling & Quality

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Fuel Tank

As the name suggests, the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street has retro styling. Thus, you have a round shape for the headlight, a dual-tone front fender, a contrasting shade for the side panel along with the ‘6½’ decal, a flat-ish saddle, split-style pillion grab rails, and a rear-fender-mounted number plate. There are plastic cowls under the engine, but most of the drivetrain, chassis, and the sub-frame have been exposed for minimalistic aesthetics – and it looks likeable. But the fuel tank has one too many creases while the tail-end isn’t as muscular as the front half, thus making the motorcycle look slightly disproportionate. In this regard, the Seiemmezzo 6½ Scrambler looks more aesthetically pleasing. Further, the taillight isn’t the most stylish unit either and it looks vanilla when compared to some of its rivals.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Side Panel

However, the visual drawbacks are compensated by a commendable build quality and this Italian middleweight motorcycle feels pretty solid. The fuel tank and the front fender look promising, while the brushed finish on the side panel looks stylish and appealing. Then, the switchgear operates well and it is easy to access even with riding gloves. There are a lot of wires running around, but they’re neatly strapped by rubber fasteners. If we were nitpicking, the black plastic near the keyhole could have been of a better quality since it’s already showing signs of ageing. Then, an integrated high/low-beam function in the pass switch would have made the setup more modern.

Ergonomics & Comfort

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Right Side View

Despite the relatively flatter handlebar than the Seiemmezzo 6½ Scrambler variant, the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street packs upright ergonomics. It’s also easy to ride the motorcycle while standing on the footpegs when you want to give some relief to your glute muscles or tackle bad roads without overloading your lower back. Then, the footpegs are neutral-set and the motorcycle delivers a very comfortable rider triangle that works well for city riding.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Bike Seat

Now, the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street tips the weighing scale at 215kg, which is on the heavier side, and it takes some effort to move the motorcycle around. However, things become relatively easy due to an accessible seat height of 795mm. Then, the saddle has sufficient padding as well and riding for long hours doesn’t get very tiring. Sure, the lack of windblast protection does mean that you cannot ride it at high speeds for long. But cruising at 80-100kmph is fairly easy. The engine, too, feels comfortable at these speeds and then some more, and we will explain that in detail in the next part of the review.

Performance & Handling

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Engine From Right

The Italian word, Seiemmezzo translates to six and a half, which indicates the displacement of this motorcycle. The 649cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine makes a maximum output of 54bhp at 8,250rpm and a peak torque of 54Nm at 7,000rpm. This motor is linked to a six-speed gearbox that, surprisingly, misses an assist clutch mechanism. It does, however, get a slipper mechanism. The engine feels comfortable anywhere above 2,500rpm and it gives a commendable output in the mid and higher revs. The step up in acceleration post 6,500rpm is praiseworthy too. In the sixth gear, the 100kmph mark comes around 4,500rpm while 120kmph is hit at 5,500rpm – which is a sweet spot to cruise on the highway as the engine is at the cusp of its power band and can be used for quick overtakes.

Now, despite the high-revving performance of the engine, the vibrations are well managed, unless you are above 7,000rpm. That’s where you can feel a buzz from the footpegs. Otherwise, we didn’t find anything to complain about.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Front Wheel

The engine performance is complemented by the suspension setup and the braking hardware. The upside-down front forks and rear mono-shock are tuned for spirited riding and thus set on the firmer side. The front forks are adjustable for compression and preload while the rear mono-shock can be tuned for preload only. In the stock state of tuning that we received from the manufacturer, the motorcycle glided over minor undulations efficiently. The bigger bumps and potholes, however, sent a harsh bump to the rider. One thing that you must know is that the front forks tend to completely extend out, hitting the stopper when tackling speed breakers at a relatively faster pace.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Rear Wheel

The anchoring hardware on the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street includes twin 298mm discs at the front and a single 255mm rotor at the back, both grabbed by Brembo-sourced calipers. The setup packs an ample amount of bite and feels progressive, thus giving you the confidence to brake late into a corner. The ABS, however, feels intrusive and the system kicks in way too soon, and there is no option to adjust the feedback. Then, the Pirelli-sourced Angel GT tyres deliver promising feedback and sufficient grip for spirited riding, and the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street feels remarkably fun around twisting roads.

Features & Technology

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo TFT / Instrument Cluster

Now, the feature list is almost similar to Kawasaki Z650. However, the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street misses the traction control system. But, there is dual-channel ABS, full-LED lighting, and a Bluetooth-enabled five-inch TFT display with more features and controls than the Kawasaki roadster.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo TFT / Instrument Cluster

The data on the console is neatly placed and it’s easy to read crucial ride-related information. The range, for example, is conveniently placed above the fuel gauge. The tachometer takes up a large part of the display while the speedometer is placed on the right side of the screen. Now, the display can be seen in another format when the Scrambler mode is engaged.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo TFT / Instrument Cluster

The layout of the information changes while the background features an off-road graphic. There is a tyre pressure monitoring system as well, but the numbers are not visible on the main screen. That said, the display, although comprehensive, is difficult to read under bring sunlight since there is no option to make the background white.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Head Light

The LED headlight delivers a decent performance, but it isn’t the best. The high beam is set too tall, which can annoy truckers. This, however, can be resolved by making small adjustments to the setup.

Should You Buy It?

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Right Front Three Quarter

Standalone, the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street is a very likeable motorcycle. The styling may not be its strongest suit, but its performance, refinement levels, hardware, and handling prowess make it a very appealing product that’s worth your consideration. Moreover, the adjustability function on the front forks gives the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street an edge over its rivals.

Now, this does not come without flaws. There are some heating issues, and while it does not feel very uncomfortable while riding, things can get bothersome in bumper-to-bumper traffic, especially during summer months. Then, there is the Japanese competition. At nearly Rs 7 lakh (ex-showroom), the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street competes against the likes of the Kawasaki Z650 and the Z 650 RS.

Moto Morini Seiemmezzo Left Rear Three Quarter

These 650cc Kawasaki motorcycles, similar to the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street, pack a 649cc engine but make more power and weigh lighter than the Italian product. Plus, the Japanese models are backed by a more comprehensive sales and service network than the Moto Morini product — all of which does not work in the Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street’s favour.

    Moto Morini made its debut in India last year and brought along a handful of products like the X-Cape 650 and the Seiemmezzo Street. While we’ve already ridden and written about the ADV, we were yet to do the same for the Seiemmezzo, until now. And in this story, we’ll give you a close look at Moto Morini’s neo-retro offering.
