MOTO MORINI AVIO

The news from Moto Morini UK, who have two new bikes coming soon, the 1200 Sport and the Avio Roadster.


NEW MORINI MODELS

Moto Morini will introduce two new models this spring, with another two due to follow later in the year, expanding the range of machines available to UK riders from three to seven.

First to arrive on British roads will be the Avio, a version of the Corsaro designed specially for those riding a potent V-twin for the first time. Its Corsacorta Bialbero 1187 cc twin-cylinder engine has been optimized to deliver 120 hp to the shaft (compared to 140 hp on the standard model) and offer a full-bodied, fluid thrust at low revs, with 102 Nm of torque.

Bursting with personality, this new member of the Morini family has a satin silver finish on a blue Verlicchi steel trellis frame, and features Brembo 320 mm double disc bakes with 4-piston callipers for ultimate stopping power. The Corsaro Avio will sell for £7,999 in Matt Grey with Blue frame and Black with Red frame.

Complementing the Avio is the 1200 Sport, based upon the 9 ½ and designed by Marabese to create the classic style of 1970s with advanced technological solutions, top-flight components and an engine delivering exceptional performance.

The 1200 Sport also comes with the Franco Lambertini designed Bialbero CorsaCorta 1187cc twin cylinder engine, tuned to develop 117 hp at 8500 rpm with a high torque (102 Nm 6700 rpm) that is well-distributed over the entire rev range.

Extra features include a headlight fairing, single seat unit, hydroformed swing arm, 50mm Marzocchi forks, Paioli rear shock, double tapered exhaust pipe and 320mm Brembo braking system. The Moto Morini 1200 Sport will sell for £7,999 OTR, just £200 more than the entry level 9 ½ model and is available in Orange/Blue or British Racing Green/Yellow.
