19784 Moto-Morini Cafe Racer 125

Post by RRoller123 »

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

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.

is he on facebook? lots of pages centered on Italian bikes (and even Morini, specifically). costs nothing, world-wide exposure, etc, etc.

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.

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.
