What the List at the top of this threat is missing (besides many other things):

-enlarge inlet port
-enlarge inlet-valve size
-reduce valve shaft size
-optimize valve guide
-re-shape valves
-alternatively change to 4-valve design with according changes to the above
-lighten valve buckets
-improve valve springs for higher revs
-improve exhaust diameter, connections, form and length
-lighten and balance all moving components (crank, pistons, rods, cams if possible, primary drive including clutch hub, alternator)
-coat piston tops (ceramic) and sidewalls (PTFE or similar)
-coat all bearings, cams, cam buckets etc. with DLC (Diamante-like-Carbon)
-optimize gearbox (longer 1st, close ratio gearbox)

There was a test of 2 Laverdas in one of the Pom bike mags Classic Bike or Performance bike where they just cracked 150mph or 241kph confirmed at Bunting, that testing place they all used back then, not some widely wobbling highly inaccurate bike speedo. I guess the V6 is the big daddy for the fastest Laverda ever. Deserves its own thread.
