Engineered by Moto Morini for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2010 Moto Morini Corsaro 1200 features a 1187 cc (72.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 140 HP (102.2 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 123 Nm (90.7 lb-ft) at 6,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 117.9 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (6,700 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Corsaro 1200 measures 198 kg (437 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.71 HP/kg (1.41 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
