Only just read this string, so sorry for a tardy contribution!
In conversation with Lambertini (engine designer of all the V twin Morini) during a club visit in 2007 he stated very clearly that these engines had the strongest characteristics purely through the design of the exhaust system. They were tuned for maximum power / torque; I recall that the New York I rode once from Bengy Straws' WeeVee here in the UK was fast; the 501 motor was probably good for about 120 mph! Certainly better than any stock 500 I rode...
Enjoy the jouirney, and welcome to the Forum!
