presentation of the 1200 CORSARO 2008

Like the inverted fork? Take a look at the exhaust pipes, whose welded sections resemble those on 2-strokes. Does the big twin sound beefy? It's advertised to rip your arms off. Forget the Ducati S4R or theAprilia Tuono. The Morini won't be shy about pushing its compatriots around. The 1180 cm3 twin-cylinder spits out 140 hp and over 12 mkg. A super-square boiler with 4 valves per cylinder and 54 mm throttle bodies. Morini is right on target, as the time is ripe for sporty roadsters. As for the chassis, rigor is the order of the day. The inverted forks are 50 mm in diameter. The swingarm has a large cross-section, and the qualities of a trellis frame need no further demonstration. The Corsaro's prices are in line with the machine's niche: the high-end sports roadster.

engine, everything has already been said ... a momument! .... and cycle part to match. Distribution network and prices in 2015 not really in the loop....dommage. Rating : 5/5 Respond to levrier-noir
Unrivalled in its class, with incomparable driving pleasure and formidable efficiency (except on freeways, of course).
Comfort is decent, but the duo should be avoided, especially for the passenger.
The main problem is that the bike is so hard to ride that it encourages you to get into mischief.
Note the greedy fuel consumption... Rating : 5/5 Respond to victor33
The price is well positioned in relation to competing Ducati Monsters. Only the distribution network is light, and you have to travel a few kilometers to find a dealer. Maintenance is at a "Japanese" rate
To try it is to adopt it; after all, the other engines seem bland. Rating : 5/5 Respond to fredorini
it's the first motorcycle I've ridden out of the house at noon just to go for a ride! Rating : 5/5 Respond to SERGE
I've already been influenced by the fact that I owned a MotoMorini 500 sport bike from '80 to '86, which wasn't everyone's bike yet, and which gave me some very good times. It had already been engineered by Lambertini like the whole range, in fact, and I feel like I'm going back to see what an old friend did. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Serge

Mine is reserved for me because I've already previewed the machine and it's indeed a jewel of craftsmanship with no flaws. I'm not worried about the network, as the importer has already proved his worth with other brands. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Ingen1
exit mv agusta and other benelli, the corsaro has no faults and yet I looked for some, it's a comfortable bike, agile, full down the middle and up. after 10 minutes of testing it's as if I had always ridden it. now we just have to see the reliability over time and a network that holds the road
i've forgotten the most important thing: the engine produces one of the most beautiful melodies on the market
