2012 Moto Morini Corsaro Avio Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Moto Morini for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2012 Moto Morini Corsaro Avio relies on a 1187 cc (72.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 120 HP (87.6 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 102 Nm (75.2 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 101.1 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 Avio measures 198 kg (437 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.61 HP/kg (1.65 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 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.
