Morbidelli adds more powerful F200 model to its naked range
Following in the footsteps of the F125, Morbidelli has introduced a new, more powerful F200 model to its range.
Morbidelli’s entry-level naked model is the F125, which is currently in UK dealers at an affordable price of £2,499, but it’s now been joined by the bigger, more powerful, F200.
The F200 gets a 200cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 21.7bhp and 12.9Ib ft of torque. That is a slight increase over the F125’s unit that delivers 14.2bhp at 9,500 rpm, and 8.5Ib ft of torque at 8,000 rpm.
The bike gets a 33mm upside-down front fork set-up with 130mm of travel, and that’s paired with a preload-adjustable Pro-Link shock at the rear, for added stability and balance.
As with the suspension, the F200 receives the same braking set-up as the F125, with a 260mm floating front disc gripped by a dual-piston caliper. At the rear you will find a 220mm disc mated to a single-piston caliper, while ABS comes as standard.
The F200’s ‘streetfighter’ design is backed up by full LED lighting, but the tech is where this bike stands out, as its LCD instrument panel features dual USB ports, which include Type A and Type C. This allows you to charge your phone and devices, such as a GoPro, while riding.
Seat height is an accessible 795mm, making it friendly for newer riders without it feeling like you're crouched for room on top of the bike.
Pricing and availability have not yet been confirmed, but we would expect it to land somewhere in the region of £3,500 to £4,000, if it comes to the UK.
