1988 - 1990 Moto Morini Dart 350
The 1988 Moto Morini Dart is a modified Cagiva Freccia 125 rolling chassis with an air-cooled Moto Morini 350cc, 72 degree, V-twin shoehorned between the frame spars. Early models were 350cc, later ones were 400cc, and all differed from the original 350s by using KoKusan ignition and a conventionally mounted Bosch starter motor that could actually be relied on to start.
