Why Did Moto Morini increase its Prices?

The primary reason is a recent change in India's GST rules. The government has increased the GST rate on two-wheelers with an engine capacity above 350cc. The new rate is 40 percent, a significant jump from the previous 28 percent.

What Powers These Bikes?

All these models share the same 649cc parallel-twin engine. The Seiemmezzo models produce 54.24 bhp, while the X-Cape variants make 59.17 bhp. Both versions produce 54 Nm of torque.

A Shift in the Indian Two Wheeler Market

This price hike reflects a broader change in the Indian two-wheeler market. It makes larger displacement bikes more exclusive. For riders considering a Moto Morini, the decision has just become a more significant investment.
