Pirates ahoy!

Spotted this lovely Moto Morini Corsarino Super Scrambler parked up in Rome the other day. The Corsarino (Little Pirate) in its various guises was really popular in Italy during the Sixties and Seventies, but it's rare to see them out and about these days. In its day, it would have stood out in a sea of two strokes, with a 48cc OHV pushrod single. The SS was made from 1972-'75 (and this looks like an early model), though the Corsarino line goes back to 1963. About 3.5bhp, 59kg, 50mph, 150mpg. MP
