    Remember Morbidelli? It started out as a general manufacturing company before moving into Grand Prix bike racing in the late 1960s. The Italian firm had some impressive results, winning  three 125GP and one 250GP titles in the 1970s, but had little impact on the roadbike sector, apart from an abortive attempt at a V8 sport-tourer…
