Moto Morini Scrambler - New For 2009

Styled by Marabese to evoke the glory days of the big capacity dirt bikes of the 1960’s, the Moto Morini Scrambler is designed to capture the spirit of freedom of that decade, giving riders the sense of independence to explore the widest variety of roads, from multi-lane motorways to single track country lanes.

With its high mount twin tapered silencer, large round headlight crowned by a mini fairing, classic colour scheme and 19” front wheel, this Italian motorcycle has many of the features of a Sixties dirt bike.

However, powered by Morini’s acclaimed 117bhp V-twin CorsaCorta motor, equipped with a 21-litre fuel tank (4.5 gallons) and shod with Michelin Anakee2 hybrid tyres, the Scrambler has the capacity to thrill and is capable of tackling serious distances over a wide variety of roads. At 198 KG is lighter than many multi-cylinder naked bikes and its upright riding position offers a combination of control and comfort for hours in the saddle.

Its looks may be inspired by the 1960’s but the specification is contemporary – trellis frame by Verlicchi with hydro-formed swing arm, stainless steel Excel wheel rims, 50mm Marzocchi front forks, Paioli rear shock and twin Brembo 4-piston 298mm front disc brakes. The Moto Morini Scrambler will be available in UK showrooms in black and white colour scheme from March 2009 priced at £9199.
