Corsaro 1200, 9 1/2, and Corsaro Veloce
In 2004 a new motorcycle was announced, the Corsaro 1200 naked bike, which appeared in 2005. It was followed by the "9 1/2" road bike. There have been criticisms of the computerised fuel injection mapping in these early models.
They are both powered by an 1187 cc Bialbero CorsaCorta 87° V twin-cylinder engine that develops 140 bhp @ 8500 rpm, and 123 nm at 6,500 rpm, in the Corsaro, and 105 bhp at 8000 rpm in the 9 1/2. The engine was designed by Franco Lambertini. The engines are tuned differently to suit the different applications.
On 10 October 2006 a Corsaro Veloce 1200 was announced.
