Before the introduction of its V-twin roadsters, Morini's reputation was based upon its highly successful double-overhead-cam single-cylinder racers. A different approach was adopted for the V-twins: each cylinder's two valves were pushrod-operated by a single camshaft while the combustion chambers were located in the piston crowns. Enhanced by a six-speed gearbox, this engine’s performance was in ignorance of its lack of capacity. The '500' version (actually 478.6cc) was announced in 1975 with production commencing a couple of years later in five-speed form, a six-speed version superseding it for 1982.

This relatively rare and one owner Moto Morini Sei-V (six-speed) was purchased new from Roger Hollingshead Motorcycles. Maintained regardless of cost, recently it has had the cambelts changed with receipts for parts on file. There is a large history file and the original bill of sale is on file. The machine also comes with its original handbook; parts book and maintenance book; Mikuni carburettor instructions; V5/V5C documents; and all bills, MOTs, and tax discs dating back to its purchase. One for the collector, with this amount of documentation. With a current V5C and other documentation, it is a very original machine with correct numbers.
