1986 MOTO MORINI 350 K2

For Sale: 1986 MOTO MORINI 350 K2

Up for grabs today is a really sweet Moto Morini 350 K2. We have seen a few of these both on RSBFS HERE, and on our sister site CSBFS HERE. A wonderful alternative to both Ducatis and big bore superbikes the Moto Morini brand has always been known for rev happy, fun to ride vee twins. Sadly, US riders have little experience with this storied brand, as Moto Morini never really made it to our shores long enough to get noticed. Lucky for all of us enthusiasts, the used bike market (and eBay in this particular case) helps to us get our fix.

This particular bike has just enough miles to let you know it is working, but not so many to make you think that it’s time for a rebuild. It looks very clean for a 1986 model year, and only exhibits minor surface corrosion. While not museum quality, the relative scarcity of the M-M brand in the US assures the rider of exclusivity.

From the seller:
This is a SUPER CLEAN and VERY RARE 1986 Moto Morini 350 K2

6,517 ORIGINAL miles
Very good overall condition. Body work and engine in excellent condition!
Everything works, starts easily, including the electric starter
New tires
New timing belt
New battery
Front brake calipers and master cylinder recently rebuilt by North Leicester Motorcycles, UK
Blemishes: A) paint on bottom of left, front fork due to previous brake fluid leak [repaired; B) paint on part of right swingarm due to brake fluid spillage; C) right muffler has scrapes due to previous owner’s low-side fall
Recommendation: the bike could use re-jetting due to its lean ‘EPA’ carburation
I have owned numerous Morinis over the years and this one is amazingly clean! I already own a 1975 350 Sport, but we couldn’t resist buying this one from a friend–it had been sitting untouched in his shed for 8 years. My husband tore it down, refurbished everything and cleaned it up–this is the result. But we don’t need two, so I’m letting this one go. Don’t pass this one up!

With only 6,517 miles on the odometer and being sold by an obvious lover of these little Moto Morini machines, this particular bike is sure to find a good home. Values on K2 models run between $3,500 and $6,500 based on what I have seen, and the condition of this machine places it right about the middle of the range, if not slightly higher.

This auction is on right now, and bidding has been light. The current auction price at time of writing is just $1,825, with reserve not met. The seller has also set a very reasonable BIN of $5,495. I think some lucky rider is going home with a great Italian pocket rocket at the end of this one. To check it out, click the link and jump over to the auction. Good luck!
