New middleweight adventure bike from Morini

[Richard Simpson Mark II]

Made in China with a Kawasaki-copy vertical twin engine.

Looks nicer than a Verseys, I think...but will it be any good?





About £7k...so cheaper than the Chinese KTM twin

There's a 'roadster/scrambler' version too:

It reminds me a bit of the silver 3 1/2 Strada that I bought brand new (with ALL my money) in 1978 when I worked for Three Cross Motorcycles.

How I hate the fashion for not having a rear mudguard, but putting a stupid mudflap and number-plate on the swinging-arm.

Here's a bit about what the original Morini twin was capable of as an enduro/rally machine back in the day:

I always liked the look of the original white Sahara/Camel. It was considered an absolute monster trail bike back in the early 1980s!

Wow, that's so cool. I vaguely remember seeing one somewhere, but I don't suppose there's many left. Raleigh shoppers have a thicker frame than that. And how about that Meccano torque arm? Excellent.

I love the look of the new Morini Milano. Very nice. I had a very brief go on a Corsaro years ago, and IMO it's the most exciting naked roadster you can buy, even including the Aprilia Tuono and KYM Superduke. What a machine.

the OP bike looks pretty but does not look practical for a bike to go on adventures. Hope it sells for them.
