Classic design always works.

The new Moto Morini 3 ½ pays homage to the historic model, incorporating many of the original's characteristic elements. These include the clean, sporty lines, as well as details like the semi-high handlebars, the fuel cap, and the shape of the exhaust. The seat design with the classic Moto Morini logo and the red color scheme also harken back to the iconic Italian model from the 1970s.

Moto Morini 3 ½: V-twin engine in the 48 hp class

Beneath the surface, however, the modern orientation of the 3 ½ becomes apparent. It is powered by a 350 cc V-twin engine, delivering 32.6 hp and a maximum torque of 31 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The liquid-cooled V-twin engine, with a top speed of 150 km/h, naturally meets the Euro5+ emission standards.

The retro bike presents itself as accessible.

The 3 ½ comes with a seat height of 780 mm and features a 43 mm upside-down fork at the front and a cantilever monoshock at the rear, each with a travel of 120 mm. With a weight of under 165 kg, the bike should be easy to maneuver. The retro bike is equipped with a dual-channel ABS system and a braking system with a 300 mm disc at the front and a 255 mm disc at the rear. LED technology in the lighting enhances visibility and increases safety in the dark. A TFT display with an integrated navigation system makes orientation easier.

The new Moto Morini 3 ½ will be available from authorized dealers in the second half of 2025. Prices are not yet known.
