i don't know how a company that hasn't produced a motorcyle for some 10 years (or over 20 if you take another view) can be no. 10 of the ten best motorcycle manufacturers in the world.

some of the other articles in the mag are also interesting!

Or indeed be below Harley Davidson in any list of motorcycle manufacturers.  At least Laverda came up with a couple of new engines in their short existence...

Tippie- that is a GREAT photo of the 750. What do you know about the bike?

 

[Tippie]

The bike was discussed in the post "Oz Laverda Sizzles in Season Opener" after the Philip Island Classic meeting
http://laverdaforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,81387.msg148195.html#msg148195
It did well again now at the Barry Sheene festival, covered in the "National Australian Laverda Rally"

Dad: "Son, if you could shag any one of those movie starts, who would it be??  Scarlett Johanson, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Aniston???"
Son: "I'd go for Keira, Dad, Keira Knightley."
Dad: " Don't be greedy, son, your mother and I always found weekly was enough".

Thanks Tippie- I am now educated. And total respect for OzLaverda! Wow. I would love to see some competitive Lav vintage racers here in the US.
