Today we can confidently say, this bike is rare. The question, as always with our niche market, is who is looking for this rarity?

We have posted a handful of ’86 Moto Morini’s over the past 17 years. Back in 2017 Tad found one and put it into perspective, “Like rock and roll bands, manufacturers of premium motorcycle brands always have their eyes on the US market: a land of seemingly endless wealth to buy expensive, high-end motorcycles and wide-open spaces where big-bore motorcycles can roam free. In Europe, smaller motorcycles were very popular, owing to taxes that punished larger machines, expensive gas, and the fact that motorcycles were often used as economical transportation instead of as toys or lifestyle accessories. But while brands like Triumph and Laverda introduced larger-displacement machines with America specifically in mind, Moto Morini stuck with their “light and nimble” philosophy on both sides of the Atlantic….

Moto Morinis have long been the undiscovered bargains of Italian motorcycling: with little to no modern presence and limited performance, they were never all that popular here in the USA. The original 350cc “3½” and 500 are classic bikes in every sense, and have been increasing in value significantly over the past few years. But the K2 is from that slightly awkward and very angular period of Italian biking that spawned the origami-styled Moto Guzzi LeMans Mark III. What are these really worth? It’s hard to say, since they’re rare as hen’s teeth, and this is the first I’ve seen for sale in a very long time. However, bidding is very active and up north of $3,500 [9 years ago] with very little time left on the auction and the Reserve Not Met, so it looks like there are some Italian bike fans out there looking for a quirky bargain.”

Here we are in 2025. The pandemic bubble is over. We know from BaT that some people with deep pockets are focused on collecting. Yet it is never clear how valuable a rarity like this will be. Which brings me back to where we all started. We buy what gives us tingles. It is an investment in something that makes you smile. If you love Italian motorcycles, this quirky find might be just what you need to round out the happiness in your life. ; – )
