Moto Morini Corsarino 48cc for sale.
Posted: 21 Jul 2023 18:58
My 48cc Moto Morini Corsarino is up for sale, for no other reason than it's just not getting used. I bought it about five years ago full of good intentions but somehow it just ended up being shoved to the back of the storage unit.
I pulled it out into the daylight yesterday (I'd drained the fuel before storing it away), and checked the oil, which was at the correct level and looked like new. I checked for a spark and it was a good healthy one, put in fresh fuel and it started first kick. It sounded really good although the tappet clearances may need checking. So...
The good bits.
It's a Morini Corsarino.
The less good bits..
Well, it's not one for the purist. It is actually a ZT dressed up to look like a ZZ although it wouldn't be difficult to take it back to standard. The exhaust is a bit sad and droopy and looks like it may be home made but new ones are available here... https://www.brezzisamuele.com/
The top yoke is a bit scabby too, although it would probably polish up o.k. or you could replace it. The throttle and clutch cables are far too long suggesting it may have once had higher bars. The clip-ons need to be pushed right forward to clear the tank. Also, it doesn't have a speedo or the speedo drive unit.
It's not U.K. registered but I gather that as it is under 50cc it doesn't need a NOVA. The only documentation I have is the booklet shown in the photos.
Still, it's a fun little thing to have. I doubt it would do much more than 50mph on the road but would be the one to have for VMCC 'Tiddler' runs or local shows.
I will be taking it to the VMCC Founders Day at Stanford Hall this coming Sunday. It will be on the Morini Riders Club stand with a 'For Sale' sign on it.
If anyone on this Forum wants to snap it up before then I am looking for £1250 and would be willing to deliver it for free within 50 miles of Kenilworth CV8.
I keep getting logged out when I try to post the pictures but maybe I can p.m. them to anyone interested.

And she sounds as good as she looks.
