manufacturer/dealer back up is quite limited but I havent heard of any relaibility issues with them ( but then there are aren't that many about..)

The corsaro looks nice and sounds absolutely awesome..so if teh granpasso is anything like that I reckon it could be a fantastic buy..although predicted to be over 9k and then you have to add the touring kit, so for now its off my list

Don't Moto Morini also make the engines for Benelli?



A mate had a run on the naked model...name escapes me...anyway it weaved like a 1970s bastard.


Edit,Corsaro it was.

ITYWF that its not a 'firm' price..but sounds quite reasonable..but now it clashes with the Aprilia Dorsoduro supermoto on price and I can't afford both

BTW i think 3 cross are the main Importers for Morini
