Hi
Good for you all, all existing Corsaro Owners of which I'm very proud to say, I'm one

. They're all great in my view & my '06 (the troubled early bike) was well sorted by it's previous owners before my current 2 year tenure. It's lovely to ride, but then so's the ZZ. Test rides are available for these very reasons.
The carbon catch tank is there purely to get through Euro 4 & can be removed without fault codes, if disliked. Most won't delay in removing it. As Corsaro owners, you will appreciate there is no room to put it elsewhere. As victims of legislation on a daily basis, we must all appreciate that it required fitting.
Looks? They're subjective to the individual, as always. If I didn't like the ZZ to ride (or look at), I wouldn't have bought it after a good long test ride & AFTER I'd read that less than complimentary road test. Is the ZZ faster than previous Corsaro's? Yes, significantly in the case of my 'Termi equipped '06 bike. The Veloce is said to be quicker than the early bike, so I can't report on that having not ridden one. However, Alan Cathcart's readily available on the web road test, states that the ZZ delivers 8 horses more in the mid range. I know through experience that it is the quickest accelerating bike at useable road speeds that I've ever ridden. After running the Corsaro on road & track & a GSXR1000K6 for the last seven years, it's a comparison made on solid experience. The Brembo's fitted to the ZZ also haul it up way more effectively than any road bike I've previously used & the ABS is switchable, if you're either on track, or just don't get on with it.
The O.E Zard exhausts are again subjective. They certainly sound lovely given the Euro 4 approval of the ZZ though. Personally,I like them a great deal. Look at what Ducati fits to it's bikes to obtain the same certification, let alone the Japanese & BMW. The Zards on the ZZ are great aesthetic and aural solution in comparison.
Overall, I find the MRC a great source of wisdom & assistance. As such, like all it's enthusiastic members I promote it to anyone that's not a paid up member. Everyone's entitled to their views of course & this thread proves that very point. However, with a tiny factory with around just 20 staff, MM deserves considerable respect for any revisions & new models that it manages to put out. On a closing note, I rode a Scrambler as a comparison on the day I also rode the ZZ. What a great bike & the engine felt, sounded & went in a very similar way to my 06 Corsaro, (though it had been de-catted). Looks, handling & stopping wise, it just wasn't for me. What's far more important is that MM HAS found a market for it & it's likely to keep growing. A more full on Adventure model would surely have a good market too, given current trends? All power to MM's continued leftfield resistance in a very competitive world. The PB headline was "same as it ever was". The ZZ isn't, but Moto Morini most certainly are & thank the heavens for that
