AIMExpo 2026: First Look Moto Morini VETTORE 450 ADV Bike

Once again, we’re coming to you live from AIMExpo 2026 in Anaheim, California, walking the show floor and digging into the newest motorcycles in the industry. One bike genuinely stopped us in our tracks: the all-new Moto Morini Vettore 450 adventure motorcycle. And yes… I accidentally hit autofocus (my apologies 😅), but the bike itself is sharp in all the ways that matter.

The Moto Morini Vettore 450 hits a sweet spot that so many riders are searching for right now — a lightweight middleweight ADV bike that’s modern, capable, and actually usable in the real world. This 450cc adventure motorcycle promises strong on-road manners, off-road capability, approachable power, and a size that works just as well for newer adventure riders as experienced ADV travelers looking for something lighter than a full-size 800 or 1200.

Rather than guessing, we tracked down John from Moto Morini to walk us through the design philosophy, engine platform, suspension, electronics, and intended use of the Vettore 450. If you’re into adventure motorcycles, ADV touring, lightweight dual-sport alternatives, or the future of middleweight adventure bikes, this is one you absolutely need to see. The Moto Morini Vettore 450 may end up being one of the most interesting and practical adventure motorcycles coming to market.
