I thought the new far east Morinis would have had the hand of Ing. Lambertini at least in some way, alas it appears not.
I do not think Ing. Lambertini will be buying a new Morini, even if it is well made and perfectly functional.
No passion No point.
"The Chinese Moto Morini will be present at the Eicma, in fact it appears in the list of exhibitors. It will exhibit the Milan 1200 which will be unveiled in its final version and will have few aesthetic changes, especially in the rear, compared to the prototype presented last year and will be proposed in a new, beautiful, blue color, read a complete and detailed article on motorcycling. it in the link below. This maxi will be on sale starting next spring at a base price of 15,000 euros.
It will also carry an average displacement with a 500-600 cc made in China engine. Another work by the engineer Franco Lambertini? "Absolutely not - replies the legendary engineer of all the Morinis - They contacted me last November to continue the collaboration, but then they disappeared and called me back at the beginning of the summer. I am a pensioner, I work for fun, but now I had already taken other commitments for the design of an underwater generator: the day is 24 hours for me too, so I had to refuse the offer, I was sorry, but I'm not comfortable with them, I spent practically all my life at Moto Morini, so I am very happy to continue working for this house, but I am a serious person and my commitments are used to respecting them.
And he concludes: "As soon as I finish designing this generator I will be available again for Morini. As far as I know at Eicma, in addition to the 1200 they will carry a medium displacement twin cylinder of 500 or 600 cc with a Chinese engine presumably a parallel front, then perhaps others models of smaller displacement, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm so busy with this project that I don't even know if I'll come to Eicma, but if I go for sure I'll make a touch and run. "
