MRC Forum- brought to you by www.morini-riders-club.com

Welcome Richard I wish you every success with the Morini brand. Morini needs more dealers to help spread the word and establish the brand in the UK. Having a 9 1/2 i know how rare these bikes are in the UK and if there is any justice a few more will be seen on the road before too long.

True the 500 appears to need a little more care than the 350 and may be the last 30 years has taken its toll on those surviving. I did manage to see you both circulating at Cadwell doing your best to mix it with all the other morini's. A good day out for all.

Looking for any information relating to this bike which I owned from new 1981-1990. I believe it may have stayed in the Lincolnshire area. I've recently rejoined the Morini Riders Club after a long spell away from biking. I've found one of my previous three Morini's so it would be good to catch up w...

I have recently purchased Morini No4 after a number of years away from biking. I've been tracking down the where abouts of the previous three and so far I've only found No 1. The above bike No 2 I traded in for a 500 Strada in late 1980 at a dealer probably long gone called Chapmans at York. Does an...

Is the bike still forsale?
Although I have one Morini already the bike obviously needs a home.
What mileage has the bike done?

If you want some information on models, specification try Stuart at North Leicester Motors. Send him an email with your questions and he will endeavour to give you some sound advice. Whilst I evenually purchased my 9 1/2 else where Stuarts advice was most helpful. As a consequence I will be taking t...

I'm a similar height to Nigel and my 9 1/2 is no problem. You have the added advantage of a lighter clutch and the softer engine. I haven't sat on one of the new sports which is based on the 9 1/2 but this would be worth a try if you are any where near North Leicester motors or 3X. For me the 9 1/2 ...

True to form when I collected my 9 1/2 on Saturday the dealer (QB Motorcycles) could not provide a manual. Whilst this was a demo bike (56 plate) I would have expected some instructions. Apparently the manual they had related to the Corsaro. Can anyone tell me if there is one manual covering all mod...

Insurers do vary so you should find a policy for you some where. I've gone with Bennetts which without any no claims still came out at just over £200.00 full comp. I do though have some things in my favour, age, a bike license of over 31 years and a postal address in Lincolnshire. I did have to tak...

Pleased that I won't be the only Morini owner spectating instead of out on track. I live at Louth and work at Horncastle, either may take a half day and come down in the afternoon or come for the whole day. Again the weather may decide. What ever I look forward to meeting you all on the day.

Looking at the picture of the white, red/blue sport on MCN web site this model may turn a few heads. With the double upswept exhaust and the cockpit fairing and rear seat cover this isn't retro. I would have preferred to see twin headlamps and alloys to finish the look. How many of the parts can be ...

Thanks Chris for the advice. I will certainly ask the dealer for a manual if it isn't provided. This is an ex demo bike so it should be with the bike. I will let you know how I get on. I collect the bike on Saturday and as a precaution I will take a van instead of riding the bike back. The round tri...

Twisty, I've been looking for a Morini for a while although in my case the 9 1/2. Moto Strada had several secondhand Morini's including both a red 9 1/2 and this Corsaro. Unfortunately I missed the 9 1/2 don't do the same. The bike has just been reduced by £500.00 and needs a good home. Go and have...

Thanks for the assurances. I'm sure after a few miles under my belt the true qualities of the Morini will come through. Talking about miles do these new Morini's need running in? This 9 1/2 I have found only has 800 miles on the clock despite being nearly 2 years old. The only reason I ask is that I...

I may be new to the9 1/2 but not to Morini, three previously 76 Strada, 78 Sport and a 79 500. Usual background I'm back on two wheels after family commitments forced me to take a 20 year rest. I have found and placed a deposit on a lonely 9 1/2 gathering dust in a midlands showroom. I must say not ...
