1959 MORINI CORSARO 125 N° engine : E43231 3 500 / 5 500 € With the end of World War II in Italy, a growing number of small manufacturers embarked on the two-wheeled adventure. Alfonso Morini of Bologna was one of them in 1956 with a 125 2t. In 1959, the Corsaro appeared, an overhead-valve 125. Equipped with a simple yet effective chassis, it performed equally well on road and track. In France, importer Gabriel Couturier offered a customer competition kit for this model, enabling it to reach speeds of 150/160 km/h, much to the delight of amateur racers.

The model presented here is the latest S version, with square cylinder head and 5-speed gearbox.
