Reprinted after a long absence! The Laverda Twins and Triples Bible
provides a detailed history of this innovative and daring Italian
manufacturer and the bikes they built. Laverda has acquired a
following of almost fanatical proportions. The large capacity twins
and triples were some of the most charismatic and exciting
motorcycles produced in a golden era. With a successful endurance
racing programme publicising them, Laverda's twins soon earned a
reputation for durability that wasn't usually associated with
Italian machinery. Originally built for the British market, the
1000cc Jota was the fastest Superbike available in its day. While
the twins faded before the end of the 1970s, the triples continued
for almost another decade before dying with a whimper. By this time
the company was in serious difficulty and went into receivership.
Despite a resurrection in the 1990s, it is the classic twins and
triples of the late 1960s through until the mid-1980s that Laverda
is now famous for. Written by one of the world's foremost
motorcycle historians, Ian Falloon, who has his own small
collection of classic sporting bikes - including a Laverda 750 SFC.
