2019 Moto Morini Milano | Full Review 

I feel your pain. If I had the funds I'd have a showroom full of them. Its beautiful, and really responsive. Just hope I get the chance to try it again at some point.

Thanks David, that's really nice to read. I've got a soft spot for Italian bikes, I blame my dad.

Moto Morini and its hand-made bikes like the Milano 1200cc or the Super Scrambler with the same engine is (was) a real Italian jewel, highly respected by connoisseur bikers here. I mean, at least until 2-3 years ago, sadly now it's a Chinese-owned brand and their bikes, like the X-Cape and the Seiemmezzo even if still designed in Italia, then nice bikes, are completely different beasts Italian bikes are obviously the most beautiful ones by far BUT foreigners should buy them only if they have an official mechanic authorized by the brand nearby or, alternatively, a very skilled one as they're built with a very different philosophy than japanese bikes as the latters are mass-produced bike sold everywhere in the world in terms of millions so is abolutely needed that even a Burkina Faso 3-fingered mechanic (with all due respect) must be able to fix them, easily. On the contrary, Italian bikes are often built by small or medium, high quality brands and basically sold in developed countries only and in terms of thousands (not millions): these bikes have basically no play and zero tolerance among their components, then is absolutely fundamental that only very, very skilled mechanics that already know'em should put their hands on them. Otherwise, your expensive, beautiful Ducati, MV Agusta, Aprilia et al will spend more time broken than fixed. I don't know if my message is clear as English is only my 3rd language behind Italiano, my native tongue, and Français but that's a very important thing that every foreigner should understand before buying an Italian bike: no authorized mechanic nearby? Well, than buy Honda or Yamaha: sure, less beautiful and a bit aseptic... but far less headaches, trust me.

i'm italian and thar v2 1200cc corsacorta engineis even more italian than me. The frame is 100% italian, has been around for years. MotoMorini brand has been acquired by the chinese in 2018. Get your shit togheter

Thanks Scotty. It's a shame it's not available in the US, to be fair they're something of a rarity in the UK as well.

Thanks Giacomo, I think I would consider this a bit of a sleeper, it's certainly capable of surprising people. Loved it.

Thanks man, I mentioned more about the engines character in that one, it's genuinely like nothing else.

Thanks man

Thanks Dario, that translation is actually quite useful, and fun to pronounce. It's a beautiful language but it sounds clunky when I tackle it. It really is a special engine though, definitely worth trying if you get the chance.

Thanks to you@@RarefiedRoadfor your videos and thoughts :) To be honest, despite Morini is an Italian builder, I have to say they are quite rare to spot around. I admit I only saw some old/vintage models around a couple of times. If I get the chance...I will do a ride for sure!

Not quite. Albero is indeed the same as the word for tree.... And it can also mean shaft. Albero a gomiti is crankshaft. But here it means camshaft (albero a camme). So 'bialbero' means twin-cam. The same construction is used in French: Arbre a cames for camshaft....

Awesome, was it the Veloce? It's not technically in Chester that's just the nearest hub to mention. It's in Whitchurch actually. That's where Ben supplies them from, he's there distributer for the UK but I think you're probably better catching him at shows like Llanbikefest.

Rarefied Road thanks will look out for him I saw a few at the classic TT last year, no it was a 31/2 sport I had from a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth, really enjoy your videos 👍👍

@@mikefry6765Hi Mike, your welcome to come and have a look at my place, there is also a dealer in Chapel on Firth so that's not far either. Speedycom. they have a Milano in stock.

Thanks Wayne, good bike to start on.

@@RarefiedRoad mine were gpx 750 back in the day..thanks for message pal

Yeah I can see that actually. I love the griso, really want to have a go at some point.

Find another griso , they benefit from easy home servicing. I've kept my 1100 griso can't find alternative bike that's shaft drive , go any do anything now running Avon trailrider tyres

Thanks

It's a special breed

It was indeed. The coffee's OK but the roads are fantastic

Thanks man

From memory I don't think it is. Just ABS as standard.

@@RarefiedRoad you say in the video it comes with traction control, at around 2/3 into it, immediately after talking about the lack of riding modes
