Moto Morini 175 & 250 Rebello Moto Morini was very famous in motorcycle racing. It's founder, Alfonso Morini had raced motorcycles in the 1920s. After Alfonso founded Moto Morini in 1946, the company turned to the manufacture of 4 strokes in 1950 in an effort to become competitive in competition. For the rich history of Moto Morini you can look at these three sites: In 1955 the 175 Rebello was introduced and used in production racing. 1958 saw the highly successful 250 version introduced, which almost gave Tarquinio Provini the 1963 World Title. Unfortunately, Provini missed the race (and the valuable points for the World Championship), which was held in former East-Germany (Berlin), due to a strike at the time. Also in England Provini missed a race as he was home-sick for Italy ;( After the final race of the 1963 season (see the results of all the races), Honda did beat Moto Morini by TWO points only. Nevertheless, the Moto Morini 250 single is still considered the fastest single of the world ! You can now hear the sound of Provini's bike.
