Moto Morini: A New Italian Naked
1 - 17 of 17 Posts
This lovely machine has been trailed in the European press for a while now. French mag Cafe Racer did a big photo spread on it a few issues ago. The Corsaro (it means 'buccaneer' or 'pirate')is the sporty version; there's a slightly more street-oriented version, too, called the nine-and-a-half ("9 1/2", for those who remember the "3 1/2" v-twin of the 70s). But, according to the British press, a recent press launch was spoiled by fuel-injection glitches in the demonstrator fleet; hopefully these will be ironed out before production models go on sale.

Looks like a new Speed Triple with a v-twin. not a bad idea exactly but not very original looking. Those exhausts alone seem a total rip-off... shrug...
Forget This....check out the New Buells!!
I am in the market for a naked. Never considered Buells, but will now. The new crop look awesome. Can't wait to straddle the Ulysses. Looks like a GS-type commuter/long haul/off-road thang with attitude. What more can you ask for ?

carefull. the ulysses does look intriguing, but as a friend of a buell owner 2 times over, they are not reliable. and i like the styling. it is original. but they're still not as good as the jap competition and you'll never know when you're going to have a problem w/ it. there's no way this thing beats out a VStrom, GS, or KTM.

Buells are great bikes ... with lots of personality. I have a xb12s, it's agile, has great torque, I love the handling but the mirrors are useless, it is very hard to drive at 25 mph and reliability is questionable. I also eats a new rear tire every 1500 miles or so but I love it.
Not a practical bike.

You can always babelfish it...
resulting in: "Not I know you, but, perhaps by now po' desensibilizzato and rendered cynical from some year of journalism, when I read or I feel of some entrepreneur that he repurchases an historical brand in order to throw again it or similar, in the best one of the cases I do not take seriously sure announcements too much. The thought flies endured to passed operations of recent ended, as they say, in Gloria, leaving the bitter in mouth to gets passionate to you, upgrades them customers (or, worse, customers frigates...) and assigned to the jobs. I do not hide."
