First ride impressions Coming Soon for the brand new Moto Morini X-Cape 1200 and this thing is bringing the heat! 🔥🏍️
With a 130hp V-twin motor, the X-Cape 1200 feels smooth, planted, and seriously fun whether you’re carving pavement or chasing the next dirt road. I’ll be spending the next couple weeks putting real miles on this machine and seeing what it’s truly made of in the real world.
Got questions about comfort, power delivery, highway cruising, off-road capability, electronics, fuel mileage, luggage setup, or anything else? Drop them in the comments or send me a message and I’ll do my best to answer them during the test! 👊
Stay tuned for the full long-term review coming after it's put to the test. .

The Biltwell 100 claimed another victim… 😅
The Vettore 450 took a proper dirt nap out in the desert, but that’s all part of the adventure. One minute you’re carving through sand washes feeling like a hero, the next you’re picking 450cc of motorcycle up out of the dirt while your buddies laugh and grab their phones. 😂
That’s the beauty of events like the Biltwell 100 — real riding, real terrain, real memories. And honestly? The Vettore handled it like a champ. Pick it up, hit the starter, and keep charging. Twin-cylinder comfort on the way there, dirt-worthy fun once the pavement ends.
Adventure bikes are supposed to get dirty… mission accomplished. 🤘

Live on YouTube is my 6,000 mile review of the Moto Morini Vettore 450 This bike is pretty dang impressive. Please head over to /manybikes and check it out. #vettore450 #motomorini #motomorinivettore450
23 years ago, Cruiser Customizing gave me my first real shot in the motorcycle industry—and it changed everything.
20 years ago this month, that same path pushed me to hit “upload” on YouTube… and I’ve been making videos ever since.
It’s been one hell of a ride. Grateful for where it all started, and even more grateful that I still get to do what I love every single day—creating content that helps other riders get the most out of their time on two wheels.
Here’s to the past, the lessons, and the miles ahead. 🏍️

🏍️☕️ Nothing beats rolling into Carbon Canyon Coffee with the crew—cool air, winding roads, and that first cup hitting just right. It’s more than a ride stop… it’s a meet-up spot where everyone’s welcome. Good vibes, friendly faces, and even the kids have a blast hanging out while the bikes line up.
If you’re looking for an easy Sunday tradition, this is it. Ride in, grab a coffee, stay for the community.

Hello local techs... I'm looking for someone who can show me the proper technique for making an untrue wheel straight again. You know... loosen some spokes... tighten others. Need to show on video "how to make a wheel true" once again. #dıy #howto #motorcyclewheels #motorcycle
LIVE on @youtube is a NEW video where I put the Mitas Enduro Trail ADV 2 tires to the test in real-world conditions—tackling steep hill climbs and deep sand on a set of 70/30 adventure tires. Built for a balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability, these tires get pushed to see just how far they can go when the terrain gets tough. pany.site/products/In-Stock-MITAS-Enduro-Trail-ADV-2-Tire-p817315262
After 3,000 miles of riding, I also break down my full experience with the Mitas Enduro Trail ADV 2s—covering performance, durability, traction, and overall value. From highway cruising to loose sand and technical climbs, you’ll get an honest look at how these tires hold up over time.
If you’re running an ADV setup or considering a 70/30 tire for your next adventure, this review should give you a solid idea of what to expect.

Biltwell 100 🇺🇸🏁
Set out with one goal: ride all 100 miles and finish in the expert class on my fully rigged Moto Morini Vettore 450. Made it 50 miles this round… but I’ll be back to conquer the full 100 💪
Huge shoutout to my @rigggear Adventure saddlebags, tank bag, and tail bag — they weren’t just along for the ride. Packed with tools and essentials, they kept me going and even helped me lend a hand to other riders down on the course. That’s what it’s all about 🤝
Nothing beats ripping through the desert, pushing limits, and sharing the experience with a solid crew of riders. Unreal day, unforgettable ride.
Round one is in the books… next time, I’m coming back with a vengeance 🔥

4000 miles on the odometer today — April 1, 2026 🤘
Exactly 3 months in, and this Moto Morini Vettore 450 has taken me everywhere I’ve pointed it… without hesitation.
Two oil changes so far — both came out looking clean and healthy 👌
Highway cruising? Smooth as glass.
Off-road? Fully capable — jumps, slides, and everything in between.
This bike just does it all.
For a $6500 machine… it honestly hasn’t missed a beat. Hard to find a better value in the adventure world right now.
Dialed in with:
✔️ WildAss Seat Cushion for all-day comfort
✔️ Doubletake mirrors keeping things clean and functional
✔️ Barkbusters for protection where it counts
✔️ Fully rigged out with Nelson Rigg luggage to carry the adventure
If you’ve been thinking about getting into ADV riding without breaking the bank… the Vettore 450 deserves a serious look.
Here’s to the next 4000 miles 🔥🏍️

This my friends is why a "slightly more expensive" but more capable and longer lasting @motoztires tire choice is KEY when leaving out on a long trip. #motoz Unexpected tire changes in the middle of nowhere are no fun... Thank you @pacificpowersports for the supply of @motozhq tires we outfit the most prepared riders with. #motozforthewin and I'm sure @thebeardedgrump would agree #motozornothing
