A year after the presentation of the new platform, Moto Morini has expanded the V-twin 750 Corsaro family with the Corsaro GT, a powerhouse with typical Italian design that, according to Morini, should offer a luxurious experience for every trip.
We must honestly admit that we were eagerly looking forward to being able to throw our leg over the saddle of the new Corsaro 750 and Corsaro Sport presented at the EICMA last year, a super cool Naked and ditto Supersport, powered by a complete newly developed 750cc V-twin, which would be launched on the market in the autumn of 2024.
However, that market introduction is still awaited – we would almost say ‘in good Italian tradition because it is not the first time that an Italian brand presents new models that are only actually put on the market years later – but Morini does not have that from adding a third model a year after the unveiling of the new Corsaro platform: the Corsaro GT.
Morini calls it a Touring Crossover and in all honesty that describes it much better than if you were to call it an Allroad, because the only common denominator is the fact that the Corsaro GT stands high on its legs. And that is also only relative, because although the summary press information does not mention the suspension travel, they will not be of ‘Allroad’ level.
Well, what do we know? The Corsaro GT is powered by a 90° V-twin with 749cc displacement, obtained from a bore x stroke of 90 x 58.9 mm, a considerably oversquare value that suggests that the engine has a quite sporty power delivery. The golden rule here is: short stroke stands for high revs and power at the top, long stroke stands for low revs and torque at the bottom.
As far as performance is concerned, Morini is keeping his cards close to his chest for the time being, the only thing mentioned is the top power of 96 hp, the speed and maximum torque are still a guess. The absence of those figures actually indicates that the block is still in full development and does not currently comply with Euro5+.
The 750 V-twin is mounted in a frame consisting of a steel lattice frame with aluminum panels, with a fully adjustable upside down front fork at the front and a double-sided aluminum swingarm at the rear with a centrally located monoshock with progressive link system. Front and rear are 17″ aluminum wheels, fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires in sizes 120-70-R17 at the front and 180/55-R17 at the rear.
As befits a true Italian, the brakes were provided by Brembo, with double 320 mm discs and radial Monobloc calipers at the front and a single 255 mm disc with single-piston caliper at the rear. Naturally equipped with cornering ABS.
According to Morini, the GT’s fairing parts are designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency, reduce wind resistance and improve stability. To quote Morini: “With its perfect balance between elegance, performance and comfort, the Corsaro GT is the ideal companion for long journeys and unforgettable adventures.”
What else do we know? From the saddle you have a view of a 7-inch TFT color display that displays all essential information in an intuitive format. Via Bluetooth connectivity you can connect your smartphone to access the multimedia functions, including the integrated navigation system. The windshield is also height adjustable.
According to Morini, the Corsaro GT can be expected at dealers in the second half of 2025, but if you don’t mind, we’ll keep our fingers crossed here. They also said that last year about the Corsaro 750 and Corsaro Sport (but from 2024) and we are still waiting for that.
