Positioned in Moto Morini's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Moto Morini Granpasso 1200 features a 1187 cc (72.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 118 HP (86.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 103.6 Nm (76.4 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 99.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 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 Granpasso 1200 measures 210 kg (463 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.56 HP/kg (1.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 875 mm (34.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,505 mm (59.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 27-liter (7.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
