The Appeal
Lightweight, low capacity sports bikes were an Italian speciality during the 1950s and '60s, among which the Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce 125 was undoubtably one of the most impressive. As the sportier, more powerful variant of the standard Corsaro, the Veloce was specifically developed for enthusiasts seeking extra performance, featuring higher compression ratios and performance enhancements that made it a favourite among young riders.
This 1968 example has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its authentic character, maintaining the original details and finishes that make these machines so coveted. With its Belgian road registration, this motorcycle awaits a new custodian.
