I don't think you'll need a strategy, they will find you.

Lack of dealer back up, lack of dealers... plenty of faults, seems like Ducati in the 'old' days (rear over 8 years ago)

C, not going to venture down that route whatsoever now

After looking at the Moto Morini forums, we came to same conclusion CK. Just not enough back-up in this country and waaay too many problems with the current models.

I've got a new morini, a mates got one too. Dealer support is great, 3x the importers are a real help. everything seems to be good with the bikes as they've been out 3 years now, all niggles have been ironed out. Parts/servicing are cheap. Anyone who says otherwise have no direct experience. you don't have to look far for horror stories about hondas/yams/ducati's etc etc, I'm not even going to mention the problems with BMW/triumps!

I've got a corsaro veloce but think the bike you mentioned will wipe the floor with the other adventure bikes.

Two Morini owners! Just missing the third then...

Gobsmacked that 3X are useful, my previous dealings with them have lead me to avoid the place like the plague. I'd potentially go as far as using words like "arseholes".

I was looking at a Corsaro yesterday. Rather lovely looking in the metal, especially as in the pictures I'd seen previously I thought it looked a bit gawky and ungainly. Supposed to be a hoot to ride too, but why Morini can't come up with a gorgeous lightweight in the vein of the three and a half I don't know.

I've test ridden a Corsaro, and loved it. And I'm mates with the boys at Corsa in Collier's wood, who are dealers.

And coincidentally, I'll be needing a new hooligan mobile, as the last one is...er...broken.
