NGC Lovely Little Laverda
« on: November 10, 2020, 06:38:32 PM »
This is such a pretty little gem! An early Laverda single

the seller description is mixed up with a Ducati, regardless these little rockets were big winners in the famous Milan to Taranto race

Same seller has a couple other gems, like this Olimpia

So beautiful! All three are just lovely. I guess I like the Parilla best but oh, that Laverda...

The little Laverda would make an ideal stable-mate for a Jota or RGS.   :thumb:

Some people have all the luck!

You’re right, that’s exquisite. Love the color.

Back around 1981, the local Yamaha dealer had a pair of Parilla Olimpias in their basement. Both were missing the entire front end, but were otherwise intact and in good condition. Back then I wasn't really interested in old, weird, Italian bikes, so mentioned them to an acquaintance, who bought the pair for $500.

IIRC, the same basic engine, with a slightly different cylinder head, was used in the Laverda 150/American Eagle Renegade.

The Moto-Giro lot will snap those up pretty quick, I'll betcha!   About the most "genuine" bikes you can get for those events ....
