From an imported-brand test ride event, this piece covers two distinctive machines: the Morbidelli C252V, a 250cc V-twin cruiser, and Royal Enfield's Himalayan adventure bike priced at 930,000 yen. Both are framed as challengers to Japan's dominant domestic-brand market.
Looking at the spec sheet, packing a V-twin into a 250cc cruiser is what gets me about the Morbidelli C252V. There's barely a domestic equivalent to compare it against, which makes it a genuinely pulse-raising machine on its own terms. The Himalayan at 930,000 yen is an aggressive price for a proper adventure bike too.

First time hearing of Morbidelli, but now I'm curious about them.
Challengers like this are exactly what it takes to crack an all-domestic market.
The 930,000 yen Himalayan seems like real value for an adventure starter bike.
With imports I always worry about parts supply and service network coverage.
A V-twin in a 250cc package is rare enough to catch my attention.
