Positioned in Moto Morini's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2018 Moto Morini Scrambler 1200 relies on a 1187 cc (72.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 117 HP (85.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105 Nm (77.4 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 98.6 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 Scrambler 1200 measures 200 kg (441 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.59 HP/kg (1.71 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 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
