SUMMARY
Classic Italian V-Twin Moto Morini that's been very well restored in the past.
DESCRIPTION
- The Lambertini-designed 3½ was launched by Moto Morini in 1971 but not in production until 1973
- Lambertini envisioned the 3½ as one of a series of modular motorcycles and, in addition to the 350 twins, Morini produced 125 and 250 singles to his designs
- Initially badged as a 350 but later changed to the distinctive '3½' and available in two styles, the Strada finished in blue and the Sport in red
- The Sport came equipped with Grimeca brakes, clip-on bars, Marzocchi forks and Borrani rims
- Powered by an air-cooled, OHV four-stroke, V-Twin offering 35bhp and 95mph
- Later versions of the 3½ would wear cast wheels by Grimeca with disc brakes up front and drum brakes retained at the rear
- Dating from 1981, this smart example has been faithfully restored by a previous owner. Now very well presented and in running order
- Supplied with some history, a workshop manual and parts list and older MOTs
- UK-registered with a current V5C
