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 – looks to be in pretty good condition considering the age. While not exactly a hyper-sports bike, the K2 has a charm all its own.
With only 8,249 miles on the odometer, this 28 year old survivor has travelled fewer than 300 miles for each year of its life. No wonder it is looking so good! The seller does note some scratches on the plastics, but otherwise all of the pieces are there and looking good.
From the seller:
Very original, extremely fine running condition with very few cosmetic flaws. Please see pictures of the right side panel and tail section which are the only flaws in otherwise superb Morini.We have just serviced the bike, and replaced the tires with new Avon Road Riders, and new grips. The electric start works perfectly, it idles well, and runs cleanly through the entire rev range. It really is fabulous.
It is getting difficult to find any 350 Morini’s in even decent condition. We think it is as good an example as we have seen.
The last K2 we listed on the pages of RSBFS was a similar colored 1986 model which sold for $3,547 – so you can use that as your baseline if this little jewel is on your Christmas list.
These are modest investments in addition to being modest performers, and you can expect to spend between $3,000 – $4,500 on a Moto Morini 350 depending upon mileage and condition. This auction is going on right now, with the current price at $2,025 (with reserve in place) and light bidding. For more information and pictures, click the link and jump over to the auction. Don’t forget to tell Santa you found it on RSBFS!
