MBP has unveiled the quirky looking C650V cruiser bike. The main aim of this motorcycle is to stand apart in the crowds. The styling reflects this as well.
Visually, the first thing that one notices is the unique side-pod air intakes. The bike also comes with a large headlight, dual exhaust pipes and a passenger back rest. Moto Bologna Passione has styled the bikes taking inspiration from cruisers and small race bikes.
One more highlight of the bike is the dual displays. While one of them displays the usually rider information, the second one is mounted on the fuel tank that can be customised with a choice of two displays.
MBP has equipped the C650V Cruiser with a 647cc 90-degree V-twin engine. This motor delivers 68 HP @ 8,500 rpm and a peak torque of 62 Nm @ 7,000 rpm. The company claims a top speed of 175 km/h. This performance clearly puts the C650V in the middle weight category of bikes. So we can safely say that this bike does pack a punch.
Other features on the bike include Nissin double disc callipers at the front. The back wheel gets a single disc brake as standard. The C650V comes with dual-channel ABS as well. While the front gets upside down forks, the rear comes with dual KYB shocks. They feature five levels of preload adjustment which in turn provide 55 mm of wheel travel.
While not yet launched officially, the bike is expected to be launched sometime in the first semester of 2023 in the international market. Price has also not yet been declared.
MBP will be marketed by AARI (Adishwar Auto Ride India Pvt Ltd), that currently sells 26 different motorcycles in India.
The M502N gets a liquid-cooled, 486cc, parallel-twin engine. This motor makes 51 HP at 8,500rpm and 45 Nm at 6,750rpm. The engine is linked to a 6-speed gearbox unit. The suspension setup of the M502N consists of a preload-adjustable fork and monoshock. Braking power comes from J. Juan, which includes twin discs at the front and a single disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is a standard fitment with the motorcycle.
