Out and About on your Laverda.No bull,Just photos

Two new fotos of my Formula. Guiseppe or Paolo forgot in 1998 to fix the fuel pipe in the tank. So I had to fix it. Luckily the Formula stopped workingIMG_0265.jpegIMG_0269.jpeg just in front of my garage.
 
Glorious 80 miler before breakfast, damp & cool to start but then the sun steaming the roads off. Single track lanes in second gear great fun, looking for a good photo and literally stumbled across a cracking bike sculpture out side a pub- took the picture , big queue of cars laughing as I was standing in the road blocking it. Rolling the throttle on 3500rpm and riding the torque- cracking day out.

3500 revs? You're being a tad violent with that thing.

Highly doubtful Paul. I'm running 36T rear sprocket and 4000rpm = 112kph (just about bang on 70mph). Anyway, nothing wrong with letting an SF rev - they won't break!
I suppose that I'm not far off that with a 40 tooth sprocket. 120km h on the speedo which is optimistic would give me about 4300 I imagine.

I am amazed that you run a 36T sprocket, I would have thought that first gear would be very tall and all gears far too close together, with no chance of achieveing 8,500rpm in top. I ran a 39 for years on my SF1 and then, for a short period a 38, but it was too tall.You must be on a 630 chain (16/36) which is pretty much the same as a 530 or 520 with 19/40, for top speed that realy is the best.
