I can’t stress this sufficient, however the middleweight phase’s clearly the place it’s at proper now. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re into sportbikes, bare bikes, journey bikes, or sport-tourers, almost all producers have been setting the 650cc to 900cc class on hearth.
And whereas almost all producers have been specializing in punchy parallel-twin engines, there are a couple of that proceed to interrupt the mildew. Extra particularly, they’re rocking V-twin engines as an alternative of the now-ubiquitous P-twin. I’m, in fact, speaking about Ducati and its groundbreaking new V2 engine which is lighter and extra performance-oriented than ever earlier than.
However what in case you can’t afford a brand new Ducati Streetfighter V2 or perhaps a Ducati Monster, however you actually, actually wished a 90-degree V-Twin-powered bare sportbike? Oh, and possibly you’re discovering the Suzuki SV650 to be a bit too vanilla and wish one thing that boasts Italian styling, too. Effectively, maybe the brand new Moto Morini Corsaro may be the bike for you.

Now, this factor made its debut at EICMA, however it’s not at all a brand-new mannequin. These of you acquainted with the model might need come to know the Corsaro nameplate as a robust, 1,200cc, V-Twin muscle bike—one thing like a bizarre, alien-like Ducati Monster 1200. Effectively, that bike is gone, and in its newest reincarnation, the Corsaro takes the type of an angular and athletic bare streetfighter.
Clearly, cumbersome and swole is out, and lean and lower is in.
As an alternative of transforming the 1,200cc V-Twin, Moto Morini has stuffed a brand new, smaller engine into the Corsaro. It’s now rocking a 750cc, 90-degree V-Twin with 96 horsepower on faucet. It additionally is available in a restricted 48-horsepower model appropriate for youthful A2 license holders.
The engine is housed in a light-weight aluminum body paired to an aluminum rear body and metal subframe. It’s all fairly promising as Moto Morini claims a moist weight of lower than 200 kilograms, too.

The Moto Morini Corsaro will get a 90-degree V-twin engine with a displacement of 750cc.
Clearly, given the truth that Moto Morini selected none aside from EICMA to unveil the all-new Corsaro, it has intentions of introducing it to the worldwide market. Keep in mind, though Moto Morini is an Italian model, it’s owned by the Zhongneng group, a Chinese language bike manufacturing conglomerate, and so it actually has the manufacturing capabilities to fulfill the demand of the worldwide market, to not point out, value its bikes extremely competitively.
And whereas the Corsaro seems totally promising on paper, whether or not or not it stacks up in the actual world is an entire totally different story. Guess we’ll simply have to attend and see.
