Morini is an interesting company. Like Zongshen, they made engines for other brands, like LEM and TM. For a while, they even owned Indian, and actually produced Indian dirt bikes in the early '70's.

I don't recall seeing a V-twin dual sport before.

Indeed, that is an interesting motorcycle. I have never seen a V-twin engine in any dirt bike. I think a single cylinder is best for dirt bikes.

Thank you for posting the information, Krasi. I have never seen that bike before.
