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

Hello Comrades, I've only recently joined the MRC and, after years of dithering, have got a 1986 Morini Kanguro on its way to me - exciting!

Doubtless I'll have a few questions once it arrives but, until then, stay groovy.

Hi and welcome.

Welcome. Nice i wouldn’t mind one myself

Looks a nice one. Are you planning to trail ride with it? You'll see we have an active Green Lane Section.

That is exactly what I intend to with it. I know it's a 1986 bike but what would that make it in x/x1/x2 versions?

Hi Eric.

Welcome to the Forum.

I would guess that your bike is an X2. The X1 had round frame tubes, I'm not sure of the differeces between X2 and X3. There are some photos here from the Dutch Morini Club archive which may offer a few clues.... https://www.morini-riders-club.com/Nede ... ious6.html

Edit.. It looks as though the X3 had a rear disc brake. So, there you go.

X3 had a larger tank, rear disc and electric starter, a bit heavier!

Not sure if the X2 is still 6v/12v but the X3 was wholly 12 volt.

Why isn't there a *like* button on the forum? Anyway, thanks both.

Yes, looks like an X2 to me too. Glad to hear you have honourable plans for it, maybe join in with the clubs own Green Lane riders?

Definitely, there are so many green lanes in Devon. I've been riding them on my MZ but it's now time for something more capable.
