Although forgotten now, Gilera was one a famous manufacturer of serious racing hardware, and this “Nuovo” Saturno was an attempt to revitalize the marque in the late 1980’s. Now owed by Piaggio, Gilera was originally founded in 1909 and had a long history of high-performance motorcycles. These sportbikes were often based around big singles, sort…
If your biking interests occasionally run to the historical, take a look at some recent entries over at our sister site: Classic Sport Bikes for Sale. This week featured a Benelli Tornado, the Italian alternative to big-bore British parallel-twins, a jewel-like Moto Morini 350, and a rare Dunstall Norton Commando With a 642cc parallel twin…
This is only the second Moto Morini Dart I’ve ever seen for sale and the first 350cc version. Maybe I just miss the the 80’s but damn it I’m really starting to like the looks.

I believe the seller says it best in the ad for this very rare and very cool 350 Desmo: Here is your chance to own this rare and beautiful piece of Ducati history. Much like the Moto Morini K2 we recently posted, this Ducati is a V-twin and a mere 350cc. This makes it much…
Located in the great state of Texas is a unique Italian machine found only occasionally on the pages of RSBFS. Moto Morini, one of the other Italian purveyors of V-twin sporting motorcycles, continues to be a rare breed in the United States. This 350 K2 machine – the most popular of the models imported –…
