If the Laverda frame could be made as stiff as the shafters in the pivot area and the swingarm altered accordingly, no reason why the system could not be transferred.

Unfortunately, as Keith has already pointed out, it is just about the weakest part of the frame.  Both BMW and Guzzi used strongly braced massive castings incorporated in the frame to locate their swingarms.
