Cuore Italiano: Why the MM460 Is a Promise

Fantic acquired Motori Minarelli from Yamaha in 2020. The result of that acquisition is the MM460—an engine developed and produced entirely in Bologna, in a country that has treated sporting single-cylinder engines as an art form for decades. This gives the name “Cuore Italiano” an authenticity beyond just a marketing slogan. The MM460 has 463 cc, DOHC, four valves, a forged piston, Ride-by-Wire, and revs to 10,000 rpm. It weighs less than 40 kg. Those are engineering features you would not normally expect in this price class.
