Title: Moto Morini Files For Bankruptcy Post by: Travman on September 24, 2009, 03:05:31 PM Moto Morini Files For Bankruptcy. It's sad they never made it back to the U.S. I would have loved to see several of their bikes over here. I think their current bikes were beautiful.

Maybe some deep pockets from the East will save them, that seems to be the way these days Title: Re: Moto Morini Files For Bankruptcy Post by: mitt on September 24, 2009, 03:46:05 PM That's a pity, I always hoped to see the brand here in the US.

Hopefully they will successfully exit their bankruptcy. I guess we will know in a couple of years.

Dolph :) I cant recall if it was ever "official", but a friend of mine had one in the mid-80s. Sweet little bike...500cc IIRC.

I saw the 500 cc version of this bike at the Italian Motofest in Shepardstown, WV this Sunday. It was for sale.
