BREAKING NEWS: Moto Morini confirms the new Calibro cruiser twin range’s 2024 arrival date and price in the UK.

After first introducing the Calibro cruiser in October 2023, Moto Morini has now revealed the complete lineup and price for the UK before the bike’s arrival this summer.

The low-slung bike will come in two flavors: a stripped-back bobber priced at £6699 and a Calibro Bagger priced at £7499, which comes with two sturdy side casings and a small fairing shaped like a batwing. A 693cc parallel twin engine with a stated 68.1 horsepower at 8500 rpm will power both, and an A2 license restriction kit is also offered.

Its performance puts it squarely in the race against models like as the £6799 Royal Enfield Super Meteor and the £7229-on Kawasaki Vulcan 650. The bagger is scheduled to debut at the end of September, while the ordinary Calibro model is scheduled to arrive at the end of August.

In its A2 restricted state, it could also be considered a competitor to the £6399-on Honda CMX500 Rebel, with Morini claiming a dry weight in the region of 200kg.

“We aim to conquer a space in the market through the values that distinguish us: the unique style of our design, reliability, and the balance between cycling and mechanics that ensures total riding pleasure,” Moto Morini General Manager, Alberto Monni said.

Both bikes are fed by a 15-litre fuel tank, with a belt drive feeding power to the rear 16in wheel. There’s also Bosch ABS, plus a 320mm front disc and two-piston floating caliper, plus tubeless alloy wheels, and conventional 41mm forks with 120mm of travel. A pair of twin shocks provide 100mm of travel, plus adjustment for preload.
