For decades, Moto Morini has been all about Italian motorcycle excellence—blending innovation with a deep passion for two-wheeled performance. From its early days in Bologna to its modern resurgence, the brand has continuously evolved while staying true to its roots. If you’re looking for a motorcycle that combines style, engineering, and a connection to motorcycling’s storied past, Moto Morini delivers.
Moto Morini was founded in 1937 by Alfonso Morini, a visionary engineer who had already made a name for himself in the motorcycle industry. Initially producing three-wheeled vehicles, the company transitioned into motorcycles in the post-war era, quickly gaining recognition for their lightweight, high-performance machines.
The 1950s and ’60s saw Moto Morini rise to prominence in Grand Prix racing, with legendary models like the 175cc Settebello and the 250 Bialbero competing against the best in the world. These early successes built Moto Morini’s reputation for crafting bikes that were both reliable and fun to ride.
Through the decades, Moto Morini kept innovating. The 1970s and ‘80s brought their famous V-twin engines, with models like the 3½ and 500 Turbo making waves. Like many historic motorcycle brands, Moto Morini faced challenges in the 1990s and early 2000s, leading to a period of dormancy.
Luckily, the brand made a strong comeback. Moto Morini returned with a fresh approach, keeping its Italian craftsmanship alive while embracing modern technology. Today, their motorcycles retain the spirit of classic Italian design while offering cutting-edge performance.
