Engine and Performance Details

Most bikes in this class use single-cylinder engines, but the Morbidelli N125V stands out with its V-twin configuration. The engine delivers smooth torque and reduced vibrations, offering a refined riding experience. The N125V reaches a top speed of 99 km/h. The bike uses a steel trellis frame and an aluminum single-sided swingarm, contributing to its sturdy build.

Key performance features include a traction control system (TCS), dual-channel ABS, and 17-inch alloy wheels with 110/70 tyres. The braking system consists of a 300 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc. Suspension is handled by 41 mm upside-down KYB forks with 120 mm travel at the front and a monoshock with 34.5 mm travel at the rear. The rear suspension offers continuously adjustable preload.

Design and Features

The Morbidelli N125V has a seat height of 795 mm and a ground clearance of 165 mm, making it accessible to a wide range of riders. The fuel tank holds 16 litres. The curb weight of 185 kg is higher than typical for this segment, but it is due to the V-twin engine and premium equipment.

Design elements include a sharp LED headlamp with integrated DRL, sculpted fuel tank, exposed steel trellis frame, sporty dual exhausts, and split seats.

The bike features all-LED lighting and glossy black cast aluminum wheels. Buyers can choose from four available color options. The technology package includes a circular LCD dashboard that displays speed, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and gear indicator. The display is designed for clear visibility in various lighting conditions.

Market Launch and Competition

The Morbidelli N125V is expected to arrive in European showrooms in May 2026. Italy and Spain are likely to be among the first markets. Pricing details will be announced closer to the launch date. The N125V will compete with models such as the Yamaha MT-125, Aprilia Tuono 125, Honda CB125R, and Husqvarna Svartpilen 125.

Morbidelli now operates under Keeway Group's premium brand, MBP (Moto Bologna Passioni), following its acquisition by the Chinese company. The N125V reflects Keeway's approach to offering well-equipped motorcycles at accessible prices for European riders.
