The 500cc version of the Moto Morini 500 Sei-V is relatively rare. As stated at the beginning of this post, one tends to find the smaller (350cc) bikes more readily than the 500cc variant. For example, we have posted several 350s over the years (here, here and here), but only one 500cc machine. Like most Moto Morini`s we see, this one is clean and well cared for. Mileage is very low, and in general this looks to be in fantastic condition.
