At the heart of the 2009 Moto Morini Scrambler naked motorcycle, Moto Morini 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 101.7 Nm (75 lb-ft) at 6,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 98.6 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 Scrambler measures 199.6 kg (440 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 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
