Fred Heistand Motors was located in Manheim, PA. I bought my first two Morinis (500 Strada and a new 350 K2) from him. Yes, it's a Strada, and they did come with triple disc brakes. Leave it green.

Don't paint it. Other than the fairing upper, Morini certainly made a great looking tank and tail.

Check the locking ring on the revcounter cable hasn't vibrated loose where it enters the engine mate, i had a kawasaki that used to do that about once a year stopping the speedo reading as the end of the inner came out a bit.

Also, I should have added (after fully watching the video) that Morini's are very sensitive about their jetting, get a wide variety then have at it. I used to call Hermy all the time, he is a great guy, always helpul and loves those bikes. I used to also get parts from North Leichester motorcycles in England, they used to stock a ton of parts, but they sold that interest off to another company. I checked for parts a few months ago out of curiousity, man there is not much left. Also, the 500's would go through big ends, as the design was just a bit over stressed, the 350 was the sweet spot for that design. Yes you had to rev it, but it went well for what it was.

Keep the green! The color is perfect and unique in such a positive way! Not to mention green has come back in style on vintage bikes! This is one of my favorite videos. You went through a fill historical explanation and treated us to a live test ride. Excellent content as always! Thank you!

I was suscribed to Cycle world magazine from 1979 for probably 30 years.I remember cycle shack advertising there all the time.I dont remember a mention of them being a dealer .I like the green and gold.Gold trim was a thing then.Where would you find parts for that thing?Love the documentation on this,I never want to change original paint.

Leave it if it's original. But black and red would look good. I like the unique exhaust. I'd love to see it with the lowers for kicks! You need to get it on the interstate to open it up. Do the carbs have A/F screws? I know you have to adjust them hot. A tiny turn out might eliminate the hesitation, or a float adjustment. I bet it's quite fast with the 6th gear. It idles beautifully! And sounds great! Plus it's really cool with the dry clutch. Sounds like a sport bike. Thanks Dave!!

Loved the presentation Dave. You could always be a teacher if all else fails. I would keep the bike that colour. I had a BMW R100S back In the 90's that I painted peppermint green with gold wheels. I parked outside a BMW dealership and about 12 months later BMW released a naked 1000 the same colour. Coincidence?

I think the forks both had the mounts for dual disk. The sport tach red lines at 9500 as the strada red lines at 8500, yours looks like strada. 👍 Good luck getting into neutral if your stopped 😅

If you went to an Italian restaurant would they give you a discount because you're driving an Italian bike. I think you were doing over 25 in 25 zone. Do a couple of figure 8s before you stop. I think the color is OK.
