Quicker Corsaro lands

Veloce promises more sporty performance

Moto Morini has introduced the upgraded version of its 1200 Cosaro locally, called the Veloce.

According to the maker, "The name is also inspired by the best tradition of the Bologna motorcycle manufacturer, who in the early sixties gave the name Corsaro Veloce to a sporty version of the Corsaro 125, a model blessed by success in that era."

The machine boasts upgraded suspension, a Termi pipe, an additional sport-mode ECU and a host of other goodies.

All up it promises a lively 140 horses for a semi-wet weight of 196 kilos.

It's priced at $23,990 plus ORC.

See below for the factory list of changes from the standard Corsaro, plus the specs.

Termignoni steel silencer (the after-market model)

Additional Sport ECU (the after-market model)?The bike will come with: standard ECU + 1 SPORT ECU, that shall be mounted when the dB killer is removed from the silencers - Both ECUs are included in the sales price.

Ergal Sport Footrests (the after-market model) made by milling the solid material; featuring a sport gear shift control stroke.

Front fork: click adjusters both on plug (rebound adjuster) and on bottom end (compression adjuster) on each leg. Corsaro features one fork leg with rebound damping adjuster and one fork leg with compression damping adjuster.

Longer spring for improved front end sensitivity.

Introduction of scraper ring on bushings for improved cartridge sealing and hard-anodised ergal rod sliding on floating bushing improves sliding and resistance to wear.

Rear shock absorber:
Ø16 rod instead of 14
Spring preload adjustable by means of one single ring nut.
Inner spring for rebound stroke improves riding sensitivity.
