Twisted little twin 1

Laverda 500 converted to 270 degree firing order by Laverda Scozia.

There's just something so right about the 'bark' of a well fettled twin 👍👍

[@MrStr8den]

This one has been modified to a 270° firing order

I hankered after a small Laverda twin in my youth.... I never found one (they were hen's teeth in the 1080s). I amazed that it is possible/practical/practicable to switch to a 270⁰ crank.... But the crackle of that throttle response is intoxicating. Lovely!

Laverda also produced a 350 cc twin to cater for the lower insurance bracket on smaller motorcycles..

[@bugattieb110ss]

They were rarer than hens' teeth in the 1080's! The internal combustion engine hadn't even been invented!

I remember these in 1979 I had just bought a 400 Yamaha it cost £960. The laverda 500 twin I remember was £1800. The actor Anthony valentine had one.

I wish I had it in the garage and I could take it to church. Our church start's at 3.30pm to 6.30pm. I have to go on the bus which is sad.

Damn... I'm sobbing!

[@alanlake5220]

Not much wrong with that, sounds good.

[@rgadave]

Sounds so different Keith.

[@johndean3475]

Is that a 500cc Montjuic ?

[@EliteRock]

Lovely. But it's the 750 that really cries out for a 270 crank.
