Morbidelli T1002V & T1002VX: Big Adventure Bikes, Bigger Value

Adventure bike riders are always looking for the sweet spot between performance, comfort, touring capability and price. That balance can be hard to find in a market dominated by increasingly expensive machines packed with optional extras. But the new offers on the T1002V and T1002VX might just shake things up in a big way.

With a substantial price reduction and a free aluminium luggage package included, these high-spec V-twin adventure bikes now represent one of the strongest value propositions currently available in the UK adventure motorcycle market.

A Serious Adventure Bike Without the Premium Price Tag

Effective immediately, both the Morbidelli T1002V and T1002VX are now available for just £6,999 (+ OTR). That’s already a significant saving thanks to a £1,000 reduction, but Morbidelli has gone even further by including a full aluminium luggage set completely free of charge.

Previously, this touring-ready luggage package cost an additional £499, making the deal even more impressive for riders planning longer trips or everyday touring duties.

In a world where many adventure bikes now easily push well beyond the five-figure mark before accessories are added, Morbidelli is clearly aiming to deliver maximum capability at a genuinely accessible price point.

V-Twin Power for Real-World Adventure Riding

At the heart of both machines sits a 997cc V-twin engine producing a healthy 88.5bhp. That puts the T1002 range firmly into serious adventure bike territory, offering enough performance for motorway touring, two-up riding and fully loaded adventures without becoming intimidating or excessive.

V-twin engines remain hugely popular with riders thanks to their strong mid-range torque delivery, smooth character and distinctive feel. For long-distance touring and mixed terrain riding, that broad spread of power is exactly what many riders want.

The bikes are also backed up with a strong suite of rider aids and electronic systems designed to improve confidence across varying road and trail conditions.

Premium Features Included as Standard

One of the biggest strengths of the T1002V and T1002VX is just how much equipment comes included straight from the factory.

Standard features include:

• Full-colour TFT display

• Full LED lighting

• Heated grips

• Heated seat

• USB-C and 12v charging ports

• Crash bars

• Hand guards

• Bosch ABS Pro with cornering functionality

• Four selectable ride modes

• Fully adjustable KYB suspension

• J.Juan braking system

That’s an impressive specification sheet for bikes now sitting at under £7,000 before OTR costs.

Many competing machines require expensive option packs just to match this level of equipment.

T1002V vs T1002VX: Which One Suits You?

Both models share the same engine, chassis and core electronics package, but they target slightly different types of rider.

The T1002V is aimed more towards riders who spend most of their time on tarmac. It features cast aluminium wheels that offer a sleek appearance and road-focused handling characteristics.

The T1002VX, meanwhile, leans further into the adventure side of the category with tubeless spoked wheels designed to better handle rougher terrain and trail riding.

Both use a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup, giving them genuine versatility whether you’re commuting, touring or exploring back roads.

Touring Ready Straight Out of the Box

The inclusion of the aluminium luggage system transforms the overall value of these bikes even further.

Adventure riders often end up spending thousands more after purchasing a new bike, adding panniers, top boxes, heated accessories and protection equipment. Morbidelli has effectively removed much of that additional expense from the equation.

For riders wanting a capable machine that can immediately handle weekend tours, commuting or longer European trips, the T1002 range arrives ready to go.

Expanding Morbidelli’s UK Presence

The T1002V and T1002VX sit within a growing UK lineup from , which now includes:

• The C1002V cruiser

• F125 streetfighter

• T125X adventure bike

• SC125RE retro scooter

All models are supplied with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, adding further reassurance for buyers entering the brand for the first time.

With adventure bike prices continuing to climb across the industry, Morbidelli’s aggressive pricing strategy could attract riders looking for maximum specification without emptying their bank account.

For many riders, the T1002V and T1002VX may now represent one of the most affordable ways into full-size V-twin adventure touring.
