One of the smallest machines in Moto Morini's range at the time of its introduction in 1963, the overhead-valve-engined Corsarino (little racer) was intended to give youngsters an introduction to 'real' motorcycling. The diminutive Corsarino proved popular despite being relatively expensive, the fact that it was a four-stroke in a market sector dominated by two-strokes no doubt enhancing its appeal. Early models had a three-speed gearbox with twist-grip change, later versions a four-speed foot-change 'box. A sought-after four-speed model, this Corsarino previously formed part of a large private collection in Italy where it was paraded regularly. The large Mondial front brake is particularly worthy of note. Last run in June 2019, this delightful miniature masterpiece is described by the vendor as in good condition throughout. There are no documents with this Lot.
