Title: Smalleest V Twin made?
Post by: canuck750 on July 30, 2017, 09:05:38 PM
This little 250cc Twin Moto Morini is back on Ebay at a lower price. This is one rare little beast.

Did anyone else make a twin as small as this?

 Yamaha made a 125 and 250 V twin . Some of the old 2 stroke 250 GP bikes were V twins .

Since I still fondly remember my first bike, a Suzuki 250 X6 Hustler, that bambino is awfully attractive!

I've had a couple of Morini's in the past. I always regretted selling the 500 Sport.

For street bikes Yamaha had a 90. Not a Vee though.

Still in production?  I'd guess you can still find the Hyosung 250s in either cruiser, standard, or street.

We'd all rather forget I suspect. In any case, they used engines in the 600 cc range, so most definitely not in the running for "smallest", just maybe the "biggest POS for the most money".  :wink:

I always like the "mini Ducati Monster" look of the Honda VTR 250.

Too bad it's never been a US model, and it seems it was rarely brought to Europe. Japan and Australia get them.

I bet there's a bunch of tiny Vees coming out of China.
