Title: Morini Camel on Facebook Marketplace...
Post by: SLDMRossi on December 21, 2021, 11:20:47 AM
Dear fellow Moto Morini fanatics:

So last night I got all excited about what appears to be a clean, low mileage Morini 501 Camel that's on Facebook Marketplace in Kansas City. And was prepared to chase it down. But unfortunately...

Having sat for a long time, there are the usual battery, fuel system refresh and new tire needs. But digging deeper be aware: the handlebars look suspect, there's no Master Cylinder nor brake lever assembly, no front brake caliper and the black plastic, front Fuel Tank covers are missing. And no Title...

FYI, I tried...

Yeah, but...wanted to share my findings after directly interacting with the Seller. Just in case...

The lack of a braking system was only revealed after I asked about the status of the hydraulics...twice. The question was avoided with the first go-round. Buyer beware...

good to know it's a project / parts bike. I think I'd rather have a Cagiva Elefant anyway.

Been there, done that.  :laugh: I'd like to try a Camel now.
