Not many of us have heard of Moto Morini, the old Italian brand. Now Chinese-owned, the new Moto Morinis are still designed in Italy and are making a comeback. Don Williams recently rode the Vettore 450 adventure bike and gives us his thoughts on whether this bike has earned a place in the highly competitive US ADV market.

Associate Editor Freeman Wood and his good friend Alex Cobb decided to try the Lost Coast BDR-X route on the 2026 BMW R 12 G/S and Honda Africa Twin . Teejay Adams chats with Freeman and Alex about how both bikes fared on the 500-mile, figure-eight loop that ventures deep into the untamed heart of Northern California’s last stretch of undeveloped coastline.
