Motociclismohas gotten a chance to ride the new Moto Morini motard ahead of its EICMA
unveiling code-named the “V12M01″, the
new street-tard has yet to be officially designated, but “Grand Motard” seems to
be a fun play on the bike’s Granpasso roots. Regardless of the name, the new
motard will feature the same Granpasso water-cooled 1187cc 87° v-twin motor, but
power will be bumped from the Passo’s 118hp, to a slightly less anemic 127hp.
The motard will come with the same 7 gallon fuel tank that made the Granpasso so
popular with the adventure rider crowd.
