Motorcycle specifications Morini1200 CORSARO ZT 2018 Expressive omen

In recent years, Morini has made a comeback. Still moribund until recently, the small Italian brand has reoriented itself towards the top end of the market, and it seems to be doing well. The sporty, characterful Corsaro ZZ roadster is its figurehead. It is joined in the catalog by a close cousin, designed to broaden the customer base. The ZT makes an effort on price, but hardly on performance.

A T for Touring. No, let's not go that far. But this ZT is more accessible, with a modified fuel tank that makes the rider feel more at home, for a more relaxed riding position. Is this a sign that the Trivolzio-based brand is easing up on the virulence of its products? Not at all!

Closely derived from the ZZ, the Corsaro 1200 ZT boasts a logically similar design. With the exception of the front end: the menacing double peep-hole is replaced by a single round headlight, very classic, even with bulbs inside. In this age of full LEDs, this is something to be proud of.
Pots under the saddle are still very much in vogue. The trend has long since faded, yet it's hard to find fault with this Italian exercise.
in front of the handlebars, you'll find a beautiful digital panel serving as a dashboard. Its inclination has been modified to make it easier to read.

So as not to encroach on the ZZ's fiery reputation, this cousin benefits from the same 1187 cm3 twin engine, but with slightly softened engine management. Power output remains unchanged, still spitting out a healthy 139 hp at 8,500 rpm. The chassis is unchanged, with a tubular steel trellis frame, all-round adjustable Mupo suspension and large 4-piston Brembo M50 brake calipers.

In a way, this Corsaro ZT is the successor to the 11 & 1/2. A little nicer, a little less expensive, six kilos lighter but technically very close to the ZZ, this roadster promises to be an exciting way to discover Morini's passion. Confidential distribution is expected, which may give rise to hesitation, but ensures a special cachet.
