Motorcycle specifications Morini750 Corsaro GT 2025 A bold proposal

Moto Morini, boosted by its Chinese owner, came out swinging at the latest EICMA show ('24) in Milan. The brand, with its Italian DNA, is targeting growth markets with its medium-displacement A2-license bikes and the Corsaro GT, a clever blend of trail and sport. This Swiss Army knife is a weapon of conquest. What does it want in the face of the Yamaha Tracer (7 & 9) or the BMW F900 XR?

750 cm3 V-twin, 95 hp

Don't think that this Corsaro GT completes the Seiemmezzo range. No, it completes the Corsaro clan, which also includes the roadster and the sports car. Although these two models have been known since EICMA 2023, the whole family has agreed to meet up in 2025, with something new in store. Starting with the 750 cm3 V-twin. Opened at 90°, this twin-cylinder offers 95 hp or 47.5 hp in A2 version. This motorization has become relatively rare in the segment, which seemed condemned to exist only with parallel vertical twins. It should also be remembered that it was with this engine (but in 1200 cm3) that Moto Morini made its comeback in the early 2000s with the ferocious Corsaro roadster.

Powered in this way, the Corsaro GT boasts a top speed in excess of 210 km/h, and the engine complies with Euro5+ standards.

Made in Italy, Italian equipment

The chassis is a combination of a steel trellis frame and two generous aluminum plates. The originality of the chassis lies in the fact that the plates are on the upper part, surrounding the fuel tank. The aluminum swingarm is equally superb, a cast, worked and hollowed-out piece. The quality of finish doesn't seem to have been forgotten on this Italian-made bike. Damping is provided by an inverted fork (adjustable in all directions) and a link-mounted shock absorber.

Braking is handled by Brembo's fine equipment, with 320 mm discs squeezed by radial-mounted 4-piston monobloc calipers; Stylema, to boot. The rear disc is 255 mm. The dual-channel ABS also works on corners, with a "cornering system" function. Thus equipped, the Corsaro GT weighs 215 kg, to which must be added the weight of the fuel. The wheels are 17" with 120 and 180 mm Pirelli tires.

A stylish way to travel

There's no denying that Italy knows how to design motorcycles. The Corsaro GT may be a familiar sight, but it's got a personality all its own, a clever blend of function and elegance, even sportiness. It is " designed to offer exceptional comfort on long rides ", according to the press release. The GT boasts a natural, comfortable riding position, with raised handlebars, an adjustable bubble and a seat that feels wide and plush. The seat height of 835 mm is well within the segment average (840 mm on the Yamaha Tracer 7). The 19-liter fuel tank should provide plenty of range.

The front end is fitted with LED headlights, and the turn signals are housed in the hand guards. The fairings conceal a 7-inch digital display. Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, you can link your device to access multimedia functions. The integrated navigation system will ensure you find your way and follow the guidance directly on the screen. On-board technology is complemented by blind spot detectors for active safety.

The generous parcel rack can easily be used as a grab handle for the passenger, and can also accommodate a top case. The Corsaro GT also features anchor points for side luggage.

At the crossroads of markets

While its cubic capacity makes it a worthy competitor for the Tracer 7, its superior power output of 20 hp means it can go further. Well-equipped and a pleasure to look at, the Corsaro GT will undoubtedly tickle the fancy of the new Yamaha Tracer 9 or the discreet but effective BMW F900 XR. The Corsaro GT is not lacking in style, and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful motorcycles in its category. Price will be a determining factor in attracting customers ready to choose originality.

The Corsaro GT should arrive in dealerships in the second half of 2025.
