There is a fellow at the Halifax Friday cruise who is selling his 1974 Moto-Morini 125 Café racer. He rides it to the show about every week and it runs very well. He was associated with the US Importer and knows the bike very well, and there were only 7 imported in 1974, the last year of US importing fro Moto-Morini, thus this is a rare little bike. He revealed to me privately that very serious recent health issues have surfaced in his family and the bike will be sold at a fair price. I can relate to this..... The sale includes dozens of factory NOS spares. I have NO financial interest in this other than trying to help out a good fellow motorhead in medical need. If anyone is interested, contact me via PM and I will give you his contact information.

It is a 4-stroke too!! I would buy it myself if I wasn't basically in the same situation that he is.

Back in the 70's I remember lusting for a Morini 3 1/2

Re: 19784 Moto-Morini Cafe Racer 125
I have to say I am amazed that I haven't heard from anyone. This is a rare bike in excellent condition, and he has so many NOS parts in original factory bags. This is the real deal. Poor bastard has a disease that will eventually kill him..... Just trying to help the fellow.

Re: 19784 Moto-Morini Cafe Racer 125
is he on facebook? lots of pages centered on Italian bikes (and even Morini, specifically). costs nothing, world-wide exposure, etc, etc.

Re: 19784 Moto-Morini Cafe Racer 125
Thanks, for the ideas, I will mention it to him at Halifax on Friday if he is there! I am not sure how he is marketing the bike, but the Halifax show should eventually do the trick, I think. I don't know him very well, just share a common sympathy when these terrible medical problems get revealed. It is a tough row to hoe.

Re: 19784 Moto-Morini Cafe Racer 125
Maybe I will take my first SS check coming next week and buy it...... but how do I convince Jeannie that it is the right thing to do?

Re: 19784 Moto-Morini Cafe Racer 125
I'd buy it but I already have 2 moto morini - and I only have one rear end so it would probably not get the love it deserves.
