Re: Morini 4 1/2
Thanks for that, Richard.
Quite an amusing video. As a liquid cooled single the 4½ Corsarino doesn't bear much relation to the 3½ but still... It may only be a concept from the talented hand of Oberdan Bezzi, but I quite like the look of it. He's done a 4½ Corsarino Veloce as well, (see below).
Lots more pictures here... https://oberdanbezzi.artstation.com/

Re: Morini 4 1/2
Certainly hits the current zeitgeist of the trend for smaller single cylinders bikes.

Absolutely agree.
A couple of guys in our local VMCC Section have a Royal Enfield HNTR and Triumph Speed 400 and both are very happy with their purchases. I confess to being quite taken with the Honda GB350S. Haven't seen one yet. It will be interesting to see what kind of impact the Nuovo Tre e Mezzo has when it appears later in the year.

Re: Morini 4 1/2
The RE and Honda are about 20bhp, the Triumph is 39. I would think that the RE and Honda may feel under powered on modern main roads, the Triumph should hold its own. I should imagine a country lane ride is ok, but overtaking would be interesting.
The Honda sounds like my mate's lawnmower!

Re: Morini 4 1/2
The Triumph 400 Sport is a great bike. My mate accompanied me recently on our Yorkshire Dales trip. It can hold its own on any road / traffic situation, with a more than sprightly turn of speed. Overtaking no problem. The Enfield and Honda models you mention are pretty gutless. Fit the brief for just pottering about I suppose. My 500 Sport and the Triumph are quite evenly matched performance wise. The power delivery is a lot more revvy and frantic mind.
