Here are two pix of the LAVERDA 250 Chott prototype! Ciao, Gert

Unlike the 650/750 & triple it didn’t turn out much different in looks in the finished product and IMHO looks right to me.

Yep, very close to production spec it seems, a handsome little beast.

Prototype bash plate looks a little neater, a lot less bulky, but proddy exhaust turned out nicer imho.

However, the speedo drive gearbox is present on the sprocket cover yet the speedo drive is taken from the front wheel... decisions, decisions.

Any pics of the rumoured 400 Chott Gert?

Ozlaverda has a pic they claim is a Chott 420, but I am not sure - was that also a 1 cylinder engine?!?

Yes, it was a prototype based on the 250 Chott engine. Never made it into production. I would love to have one 420 ccm Chott ... Ciao, Gert

seems they re-developed the top-end, so - not easy... Just making a bigger bore wouldn't work it seems due to the passages for the fuel/air mix. Maybe a different Zylinder would be able to adopt!?

To ensure future use into my old age I have sourced another engine for my prototype Chott

Perhaps Graham you can move beyond prototype stage and start a production run now, now that you have proved it works!
