2026 Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport

Pretty bike, without the grim, martial look so popular these days. Just a motorcycle, without pretending to be a fucking Transformer. :rolleyes:

The Chinese are catching up fast, their styling departments are doing a lot of things right imho.

It lacks any sort of passion for the brand, just a modern 350.. could be anything. Probably ok as a bike, and built to a price but just the same computer designed crap that everyone’s churning out. Passion is what we need. The original Morini 31/2 was ground breaking, designed by ex Ferrari guy, first bike to have electronic ignition, belt driven cam, no mechanical oil feed to the head, Heron heads, electric automatic fuel tap and six gears. Saying that, I think the Chinese adventure bikes are going to see off the old guard , it’ll be interesting if they start building cheap motocross bikes.
 
It appears manufacturers believe the only people still interested in buying motorcycles are from the ‘70’s and probably in/nearly in their 70’s and want a lightweight modern version of what they may have bought when they were a teenager/in their 20’s?

KTM in particular showing them how to make their bikes gotta go down as one of the dumbest decisions ever...
And CFMoto has made them pay big time... why pay triple for the orange plastic?
 
A look at the current Chinese motorcycle industry as seen by a slightly annoying young woman. Lots of scooters and small capacity bikes, as you would expect. A few brazen copies of Harley’s and even a Honda, but several unique and interesting designs too.
