Great bikes! I am just surprised you would have three bikes that are ultimately very similar, and all from my shortlist before finally getting the Corsaro. I actually had decided on the Tuono, but then I had a go on the Corsaro... Others that I was close to getting: MV Agusta Brutale 910S, KTM Super...

Just to illustrate the issue, here are two pictures that show the rupture. You can also see where on the crankcase the hose was rubbing.

I am not so much bothered by how the cooler is fitted. Actually, the fact that it does pivot as easily as it does probably saves it because of the vibreation it would suffer being more rigidly attached to the engine. The problem I have is with the hoses. They are attached up against the crankcase, a...

Serious Oil Leak

Well, yesterday I was happy riding my Corsaro, having just fitted the Moto Morini gel seat. The seat is great, a bit taller and narrower than the standard item, and looks great with the red stitching like on the Granpasso. However, as I parked the bike it smelled of burnt oil... I noticed my left fo...

I posted this on another thread, but I suppose it is pertinent here too. My Corsaro which is now reaching 9'000km, has been giving me a fuel consumption recently of just over 6ltr/100 km. Just yesterday I filled it up after 208km, and I was able to put in 12.5 ltr in the tank. That would imply 130 m...

I have just come back from a wonderful ride around my area. Living in the Geneva region, together with my brother on his Tuono and me on my (de-cat and QD pipes) Corsaro, we headed on over the Jura mountains and cruised along the Doubs river. Stunning roads, amazing scenery and perfect weather! The ...

I had a look at the Scrambler in my local shop yesterday, and I have to say it really looks good! I also like the white and blue Sport, but the black and white Scrambler with some nice chrome retro bits like the bracket for the front fender is just stunning. They will be having ride days on the whol...

I had a Ducati ST2 for some 5 years, and did a lot of riding on that one. In my opinion, it was the perfect sports tourer available, and I got it after having had a VFR 800. Comparisons at the time was also with the Triumph Sprint ST, which I have to say was an excellent option too, but I just prefe...

I will check with my local Moto Morini garage, as they are usually very helpful.

I have not experienced this problem, yet through the winter riding I would wash my Corsaro almost daily to ensure all the salt and grime from the roads would be removed. Given that I do not have my own garage, I would use high pressure washing centers, obviously being careful when spraying, and I ne...

Interesting Zeus. I did mentioned that my inital choice had actually been the Brutale 910S, so it was only the Monster 1100 missing, but this one was not out yet when I bought my Corsaro. Out of the lot I tried, I had at first very high hopes for the Super Duke. I had read so much good about it, and...

This has been an interesting discussion so far, and I thought I would join in the fun being a Corsaro owner since last year. For starters, I am surprised at the debate between the Avio and the Veloce. I know there was a mention of it, but why not the normal Corsaro? Anyway, I ended up buying a Corsa...
