I saw an article in a motorcycle mag today at the doctors office that said "Motor Morini is selling off all their assets". Does anyone have any info on this? I didn't get the name of the magazine.

Motor Morini Going Under??
- Thread starter Fulltimer
- Start date
I called a supplier a couple of weeks ago and they said the same thing, they said a restructure was happening. It would be a sad day if this company does not come together and keep producing those nice motors.
There's Moto Morini and Franco Morini Motori, two different companies.
It's Moto Morini that's in trouble. The small motor business has never been better due to gas and vehicle costs. I think, if anything, Franco Morini would be having trouble keeping up with demand. So many manufacturers use their motors like KTM, LEM, Motobecane' and many others. Plus the places around the world where you can buy a motor like Pirate Cycles and Herdan's. Moto Morini makes larger motorcycles and that market is flooded with super bikes and wanna be super bikes. Competition is very tough.
