Italian company Moto Morini to launch two new bikes in India

Italian bike-maker Moto Morini today said it will launch two motorcycle models -- Granpasso and Scrambler -- at the forthcoming Auto Expo in Greater Noida.

The motorcycles will be imported and distributed in India by Vardenchi Motorcycles, the company said in a release.

Last year Moto Morini had tied up with Mumbai-based custom bike maker Vardenchi to design and manufacture an ultra premium motorcycle.

This motorcycle will be unveiled at the Auto Expo, which will also mark the official entry of the joint venture, the release said.

The two partners will also set up after-sales service centers across the country.

The 1,187-cc Granpasso 1200 is an adventure series with v-twin oversquare engine while the Scrambler is built for all-terrain crossover use and comes with the same power as Granpasso, the release said. Prices will be announced during the launch.
