I bought one of these back in 2003 and fully restored it and used it as everyday transport. A lovely little bike with fine looks and even better handling, particularly through the twisties. I recall being pursued through some fine twisties in Warwickshire by a guy on a bike of 3x the capacity of mine. When he finally caught up with me at some lights, he drew alongside and couldn’t believe that I was on only a 250 and remarked what a fine handling bike it was. And I wasn’t a particularly good rider; it was purely down to the capability of the bike. I still have the wee-bee and will get it back on the road as soon as I can - your video has inspired me. Thanks.

I sold mine and have regretted doing so since moment it left my shed. Fortunately I have other bikes to occupy my time.

My first bike and my true love. Even though I owned a series of 3 1/2s from ‘74 to ‘81, my tobacco brown 2C was my go to ride. They only imported 25 into the US in this color option.

85 was pretty quick back then for a 250.

You can reassemble the 'Ace' bars upside-down for a slightly more relaxed riding position.

I kind of toyed with the idea changing the position but I just love the look they went for and really don't want to go against the style.

Hi, again , Hope all is well with you. Do you still have that lovely little C2 250 ? I have just bought one last week and I'm struggling to find out where is the best or even only place to get spares/parts for these Moto Morini classics ? Hope you dont mind me asking these Q? Regards David.

I am sorry I don't have it now but since North Leicester motorcycles closed I guess the owners club is about the best place to start.

My Morini 250 had a very clonky agricultural gear box and wasn't much fun....I swapped it for a Kawasaki ZX6R
@oldguyinshed1703 3 жыл бұрын
That's odd as the one I have is really slick I wonder if yours had the wrong oil, I have had that in the past, not that its any consolation to you, the ZX6R is a cracking bike in any event.

@@oldguyinshed1703 maybe...it reminded me of those terrible old BSA's you mentioned...hard work and clonky...I never rode the ZX6R...it was too intimidating....it was minty and local chap bought it for £1200

I wonder how much the torque at relatively low revs has got to do with the Heron-cylinder head (i.e Ford Cortina...combustion chamber in piston) design? If that indeed is the case with the smaller Morinis.
@oldguyinshed1703 3 жыл бұрын
I think it is heron heads but I think the torque come more from being a v twin. It is an extremely light machine as well which also helps.
