The Corsaro model has a long history behind it, as the first generation was launched back 1959. Since then, the model was constantly upgraded and today is one of the most capable motorcycles in its class.

The Corsaro 1200 Veloce is the sporty version of the Corsaro 1200 and its name means high speed in Italian. The secret behind the Corsaro 120 Veloce’s sporty personality is of course its engine. The Bialbero CorsaCorta unit is as advanced as Ducati’s Testastretta engine and delivers 140 horsepower at 8500rpm and 123 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. The engine needs to deal with a total weight of only 196 kilos, so you can expect to great performances.

The ride is kept in check by a 50mm fully adjustable Marzocchi fork which is combined with a rear Ohlins shock. The bike sits on Diablo tires in sizes 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 and the stopping power is assured by Brembo brakes.
