After the second world war, Morbidelli evolved into a leading designer and manufacturer of precision woodworking machine tools.

Morbidelli used woodworking machine tool business income to finance motorcycle design, development, and racing interests.

In 1971, he also commissioned the construction of a water-cooled disc valve 125 cc two-stroke of Ringhini design, inspired by the engine of an ex-works Suzuki 125cc.

[3] The MBA team won the 125 cc World Championship in year 1978 with Eugenio Lazzarini and in 1980 with Pier Paolo Bianchi.

In 1994, Morbidelli constructed an innovative shaft-drive, five-speed, 32-valve, liquid-cooled, 847 cc, 90° V8, sport touring motorcycle, but its high price meant it would not be economically feasible to produce.

[8] Because of the bike's exotic design, it was displayed in The Art of the Motorcycle at the Guggenheim Museums in New York, Bilbao and Las Vegas.

It also features interviews with riders Eugenio Lazzarini, Alberto Ieva, Pier Paolo Bianchi, Mario Lega and Graziano Rossi.

Today the former Morbidelli factory in Pesaro houses a classic motorcycle museum that reminds visitors of the company's former glory.
