Chinese ownership, development and production in Italy (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
The Israeli motorcycle market, which ended 2021 with record numbers, continues to grow, this time with a new-old motorcycle brand in the local swamp.
And it's new-old because enough adults among readers still remember their previous round in Israel in the 80s.
Since then, however, the veteran Italian manufacturer (founded in 1937) has undergone quite a few upheavals, subsistence on paper only, merging with Kajiba and Ducati, changing hands until it has reached its current owner, the Chinese Zongang.
But while Chinese ownership, development and production are still being done in Italy.
The manufacturer's model line includes modern adventures, scramblers, Nikes and more with two 650 and 1,200 cc power units.
It will be imported to Israel by Moto 24, which has import concessions from Vogue, World Cup, Norton, Ural and more.

The X-CAPE is, as mentioned, the first tool in the Moto Mourini family to arrive in Israel.
But later this year it will be joined by two more models that share the engine and other assemblies with it.
These are the coffee racer and scrambler versions of the seiemmezzo series (six and a half in Italian, a nickname for engine volume).
Towards the end of the year, the big brothers will also arrive, two Nikes with the manufacturer's 1,200 cc V2 engine and outputs ranging from 110 to 140 hp.
The Corsero is a Nike in muscular design and its sibling that goes by the name of Milan in a design that is more inclined towards the Racer-Retro coffee.
