Love the troll put down, well said, only thing about the bike I find ugly is the hanging number plate bracket. Didn’t like the way it looked on a Husky nor on this bike, otherwise it’s a head turner.
Nice looking bike. I still love my CB500X and CT125. As far as country of origin, well, it seems everything is imported. Enjoy your adventures. I'm going to ride with my grandson next Monday on the California coast. I'll send pics.
This bike has a lot of design cues from a slew of different bikes slapped together to make a Chinese power cruiser somewhat appealing. I won't say that it is awful in appearance but I also wouldn't call it elegant either. It has some Suzuki M109 cues, Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 cues, mixed in with some Ducati Diavel. It is different for sure. I would not go as far as to say that it appeals to me in such a way that I would rush out to buy one. However, if I were on vacation over in Europe and wanted to rent a bike to take in some sights I might give it a go. I like European styling and have always appreciated their bikes. I love Triumph and Norton machines especially vintage bikes. I think BMW bikes are simply stunning and very reliable, the Ducati Monster is a perfect platform for a Naked Cafe build and they sound so good piped. Here is the thing though if you want an affordable bang about with a smile that lasts miles there are the Royal Enfield 650 machines that are a great nod to a golden era of motorcycling with enough modernization to make them mechanically reliable yet provide that classic man and machine experience that one would relate to a mid sixties Triumph or BSA 650 machine. Sure they aren't boasting the power numbers of this MBP 1002CV but they have a certain charm to them that has pushed Royale Enfield into one of the top slots for sales numbers. They have sold more units in a single year than Harley and Indian combined and their popularity just continues to grow. If I am being totally honest I do not see this particular model being a big hit for Morbidelli. Where I think they will do well is with their Adventure series bikes. They are very attractive looking, are priced fairly decent, and are in a segment that is currently trending heavily the world over. The other segment that should do well is their naked bikes as that too is a hot segment and the Chinese made light to middle weight engines seem to offer character that several of the more expensive Japanese models seem to lack. If the MBP 502 model engines have anywhere near the character of CF Moto's 450 NK, SS, Ibex/MT powerplant they will have a huge hit on their hands.
I own one, I came from a Harley 750 Street as my fused Lumbar spine couldn't cope with the ride etc. My MBP is the best bike I have ever owned the weight balance of the bike, the power delivery, the ride, the looks and what is it? Off all the other bikers is amazing. Great review ✊️

It’s even better in the flesh 🤩👍
Whats the accessory situation like
Definitely looks like it just came out the batcave.
China 🇨🇳 dominate the world with manufacturing especially in the car world but bikes are definitely catching up and that don’t look to shabby 👌
100% agree 👍🍻🔥
On the forth time they saw it did they go...Eeeeyuk!? That is one _ugly_ machine.
I have seen some ugly bikes in my time but by god that takes the biscuit.
