R50 engine type

Is the Rough House 50 a horizontal minarelli style engine? I saw a Daytona variator that came in for a disturbingly reasonable price.

Oh, and an exhaust that doesn't drive me up the wall. The prima pipe for the rough house/buddy 50's make me absolutely crazy. They're louder than my stella with a simonini expansion chamber! :shock:

as far as I know the Buddy 50 and the roughhouse have the same engine which is the HM engine.

That blows the doors wide open then, given some of the dimensions of output shafts are exactly the same size as a Zuma 50. Sounds kinda exciting all the sudden. :-P
