VOGLIO LA MOTO MORINI (3 e 1/2)

I WANT THE MOTO MORINI (3'n'1/2)

Few days ago, while I was travelling through the roads of Milan, I have seen one of these MOTO MORINI.
It was like to dive immediately into past. I was in love with this bike when I was a young guy.


In 1971 Moto Morini launched on the market the challenging project of Ing. Lambertini (coming from Ferrari experience), with a very nice bike, innovative and rather fast.
With its 72° inclined cylinders it was possible to keep it shorter and agile. The back cylinder is also “out of the axe” in order to keep it cool.

Another peculiar characteristic was the multi disc-dry pack friction, typical application of sporty bikes.
The SPORT version was able to deliver 39 Cv at 8.500 rpm, with a maximum speed of 175 km/h.

In the pictures below some nice example of how a nice bike from the early past can become an excellent basis for customization.
In the last picture, a friend was able to put the gear clutch “in the right position” (at left), since the standard motorbike was fitting the brake on the left and the gears on the right.
