I can’t stress this enough, but the middleweight segment’s clearly where it’s at right now. It doesn’t matter whether you’re into sportbikes, naked bikes, adventure bikes, or sport-tourers, nearly all manufacturers have been setting the 650cc to 900cc class on fire.
And while nearly all manufacturers have been focusing on punchy parallel-twin engines, there are a few that continue to break the mold. More specifically, they’re rocking V-twin engines instead of the now-ubiquitous P-twin. I am, of course, talking about Ducati and its groundbreaking new V2 engine which is lighter and more performance-oriented than ever before.
But what if you can’t afford a new Ducati Streetfighter V2 or even a Ducati Monster, but you really, really wanted a 90-degree V-Twin-powered naked sportbike? Oh, and maybe you’re finding the Suzuki SV650 to be a bit too vanilla and want something that boasts Italian styling, too. Well, perhaps the new Moto Morini Corsaro might be the bike for you.
