      Friends,

      A small group of us are planning a 2 week trip to the Lake Como area in May.

      I am looking at moto rental options.

      Several sites offer bikes from Moto Morini and Bellini. I am unfamiliar with these bikes - I believe these are Chinese imports with Italian-sounding names - and I don't know anyone in the US with them. For example, one company offers Moto Morini X-Cape 650 and a Bellini TRK 702.

      Does anyone have any experience with these bikes? Comfort and wind management are most important to me. For example, last year I rented a Transalp and I loved it. I have also rented a BMW 1250 GS and it was also very comfortable, if a bit heavy since we tend to stick to twisty and backroads, and avoid multi-lane highways.

      I'd love to hear about any experiences....

      Thanks,

      Vinnie

        @Vincent-Curren It's Benelli, not Bellini 😄 As far as I know they have been bought by chinese companies, but the development is still made in Italy. Anyway, unfortunately I've never ridden any of them, but reviews and opinions I see on the internet are pretty positive.

          @Vincent-Curren A well know motorcycle journalist called Henry Cole tested the Moto Morini a short time ago on The Motorbike Show here in the UK.
          He rated it quite highly.
