Moto Morini’s long-awaited return to motorcycle manufacture with a 1200cc naked bike, will be unveiled at the Bologna Motor Show.

According to the company the new bike is “Compact in size and exuding its Italian roots both in the aesthetics and technical solutions adopted. It is a reinterpretation, in a modern key, of that Morini spirit that has always sought to strike the right balance between aesthetics and mechanics.”

I really think someone should tell the Italians that the results of using translation websites still need a spot of tweaking…

But I have a picture, and I think this is infinitely more attractive than Benelli's TNT

Interesting, but don't you think that the new Italian bikes look more and more alike. Take a swingarm from here, trellis frame, drop in a v twin etc.

Still it is a stunner, in a sort of Triumph Speed Triple sort of way.
