About Moto Morini

Italy
Founder:
Alfonso Morini
Best Known For:
Vivacious Italian V-twins (3½, Corsaro) and modern adventure/sport twins
Company History
Morini began with jewel-like singles and blossomed with the 1970s 3½ V-twin—light, sweet-handling, and mechanically elegant. The brand carved a niche for riders who valued chassis feel and Italian verve over brute power. After periods of dormancy and revival, Morini returned with charismatic middleweight twins that deliver approachable torque, tidy ergonomics, and styling that reads classic without being cosplay. Boutique volumes mean close attention to setup and finish, while contemporary electronics bring safety without muting feedback. Historically, Moto Morini is a connoisseur’s marque: machines that make secondary roads feel like a dance and remind you that charisma and proportion can elevate any ride.
