Morini 750 V twin - SV650.org

I often wonder why engine designers go for 87° and not 90° for the "V" angle.

Anyway:

I'm reminded of the Mel Brooks movie "Young Frankenstein" where the doctor offers to remove Igor's hump and Igor says: "Hump, what hump?"

I suspect it will look better than the pix when seen in the metal.

Hmm. I can't say any of those look appealing to me. Even the adventure version has a silly stuck out number plate carrier.

It's funny how bike designs become increasingly homogenised. The classic British singles & twins of the 40s / 50s / 60s, the UJMs of the 70s and early 80s, the faired sportsbikes of the late 80s and 90s ...

Those Morinis just look like lots of other manufacturers' bikes.

A while ago I had a memorable ride on a Morini 3 1/2 that had been fitted with a 500 engine, that was a lovely thing. So light, slim and chuckable.

A trend starts and then they all copy each other. A lot of bikes are over designed with too much fussy detail I think.

They never seem to take into consideration that these things require cleaning. I know some like to keep their bikes pristine - I have better things to do
