Moto Morini 125 H and 250 2C: history and buying advice
Small Morinis from Franco Lambertini’s V-twin family.
History
Franco Lambertini came from Ferrari to Morini in 1970 and designed the famous 72-degree V-twin of the 3½. Morini also made smaller models from that family. The 1975 125 H was a 123 cc single with the same layout; it did not sell well.
There was also a 250 2C, a small 239 cc V-twin. These small Morinis are rare and therefore interesting for anyone looking for an affordable classic with Lambertini engineering.
