Here we go again, how does that have any connection with Laverda? Dear Mr Marketing Expert, turn your AI voice and brain off, find a bunch of experienced riders and let them tell you all about whatever that is after riding the bloody thing, it might actually be a great bike but that video was complete BS.
 
I doubt we will see the GP racer at the TT but there’s a few ex LB cup racers knocking about, and of course you can always build one from scratch. 😁

I doubt your roses will get much benefit from imaginary AI horseshit! It is interesting how the AI narration has managed an accent: Pom or Aussie? This colonials ears just cannot tell…..

Us Aussies have a term for it, International Aussie. Aussies that have lived in multiple places overseas. You can hear the Aussie but there’s various twangs there as well.

Greg Norman? And Jack Miller when he's in the mood ... although I often can't quite make out WHAT accent he's working with!

Wow. Thanks for posting this. Total sister to my '74. About 250 units 'younger'. Just a few thousand more miles.😂
Amaroo Park is/was a dozen or so miles from home. Would have loved to see and hear them fly around. It wasn't until '79 or so that I had my Jota and went to the six hour. At least there was a 900SS to be heard. Scaysbrook I think. Some guy in the crowd noticed that my bike didn't have Jota pipes, said "they should have been supplied with the bike". A trip to Stanco in Melbourne ensued. I was reassured that if I visit Eade's, back in Sydney he would hand the pipes and Jota decals over, which he did. Since my bike was possibly the last Laverda in the country at the time (before orange one's came) and had been consigned to Scott's Honda in Sydney where I located it. Understandable omission.
