MOTO MORINI 3 1/2 Touring Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

When new the Moto Morini 31/2 Touring quickly established a reputation for being a great handling bike, albeit with typically Italian iffy electrics and a rather too high list price, attributes that made them something of a rarity in the UK during the production run that ended in 1980. The engine used is a V-Twin and is unique in the use of the "Heron" combustion cylinder heads, a prime in the motorcycle industry. The 3 1/2 valve used a camshaft toothed belt, multiple dry clutches and an electronic ignition.
